PCV Valve Replacement Questions
Car is a 1999 and noticed some oil seepage near the PCV valve and lines between the valve and intake. I figure that since it has never been changed 50,000 miles that I would change it and maybe any hoses. Is there anything that I should be aware of or is it fairly simple to remove and replace. Also who or where should I pick one up from, any suggestions. I like to have everything I need before I take stuff apart. If I notice alot of oil I may add a catch can later. Thanks for your help.

I wrote a procedure for doing this and a few other things; see:

Included among these tips and tricks is an article about catch cans. Most that have some sort of filter media or element are at least somewhat effective, but there are things you should look out for. I am currently preparing to test various types of filter media/elements and hope to have some results within the next few weeks or so.
