'97 explor w/socv6,5sp auto,3.73 gears,53,000mi

I need to change the fuel filter and PCV valve, can't locate the PCV. It's not shown in the expensive factory manuals. Dealer is suppose to change it free, but at 6yrs, 60,000mi. Had since new and I have to do it myself. It's 9 yrs old and I do all services.

PCV is located on the intake or on one of the valve covers. Problem with a 4.0 is everything is crammed under the hood
