PCV Valve: VALVE COVER - Driver's side rear corner. Just take the hose off, use an open end or crescent wrench to loosen it, remove it and replace. Do it when the engine is cold so you don't burn yourself.

If it rattles when shaken it's probably still good but while you have it out spray brake or carb/choke cleaner in both ends to clean it out. Just checked ours (32K miles) and it was clean as a whistle. Frequent oil changes with top quality motor oil makes a big diff on how clean engine internals stay.
