Yeah the pcv is on the back of the intake, towards the firewall, sort of a pain to get to, and the screen underneath is even harder to get to, but be sure to clean it good with carb cleaner. I had a talk with a mechanic once who had owned a 5.0 stang himself, I made a comment about how 5.0's leak oil(I have owned 2 stangs that leaked badly, and have seen many others with the same problem) he told me that was because the pcv and screen get all clogged up and pressures rise and the valve covers, rear main, oil pan,etc start leaking. I don't know much about Positive Crankshaft Ventilation myself, but considering the PCV and screen where always clogged up when I got my cars it makes sense to me. Anyway, my point is keep your pcv and its screen clean or your car might start leaking oil.
