Theres a pipe about as thick as your thumb that goes from the valve cover to the intake. Pull it out from the valve cover end (just a sharp tug should do it) and shake it - it should make a rattle sound.
This is the PCV valve - maybe its screwed. Nothing special.
I seriously think you'll find that 4age's dont have a PCV as such as other cars.
The 4age PCV is just bypass hose fron inlet cam cover to the inlet manifold, to help with control of crankcase ventilation. No valve as such.
I suggest spray some carby/throttle bodie cleaner in the cam cover thru the little hole and then into the inlet manifold. At most take that inlet cam off and clean thoroughly.
Might be a bit messy but is there any air/pressure coming out of the dip stick hole whilst motor is running.
If that doesnt help, blow by, motor buggered time for a rebuild?
Have you replaced and gaskets/rubber seals or anything of late.
