I have a 2003 Saturn L200. And I can't find the PCV valve. I've even had a mechanic come over and check and he can't find it either. So is it possible that this model doesn't have one? I've tried to locate PCV valves at my local auto parts stores and they don't carry them. I've checked for online resources and restated my questions many different times with no beneficial outcomes. I hope you can help me.

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team!
There's a straightforward answer to why you can't locate the PCV or positive crankcase ventilation valve: it doesn't exist!
Well, not in the traditional sense. Instead, it uses an integrated system within the valve cover. The crankcase ventilation is managed by internal baffles and passages designed to handle the airflow without a separate, replaceable PCV valve. That's why neither you nor your mechanic could find it, and why auto parts stores don’t carry one for this model.
See? Pretty simple. I hope this helps!
