Is the PCV Valve for this car on the valve cover or on the block? Where is it? On ft or rear side? Accessible from above or below? When removing the valve does any oil escape? Can a shade tree mechanic change this part? When changing ther PCV valve are there any other hoses or clamps recommended to be replaced?

    The PCV valve screws into the valve cover on the oil filler cap side of the Valve Cover (other corner). It is straight forward easy to replace, no oil spills out, change it of course with the engine switched off should take you 5 to 10 minutes.
