pcv valve

I'm sorry for the stupid question about the egr valve,i knew where that was. It's the pcv valve that i can't seem to find. I have a 1998 explorer 5.0 2wd.
Could you help me locate it? It's nowhere on the valve covers.

On the 97 Explorer, it's pretty well hidden at the back of the engine underneath the intake cover. It has a "T" connector in the vacuum hose attached to the PCV valve.

Basically have to feel for it on my 97. It's not obvious. Might be able to see it with a spot mirror.

PCV valves are always located on top of a valve cover. I've never seen one in the middle so either the front or rear as the other poster noted. There is a rubber hose on the top going into the air intake somewhere.
