There isn't really a pcv valve on your car as in most cars. Look at the back of The valve covers and you'll see a hose connected. That's a pcv breather hose. Built into the underside of the covers is a scrubber setup. You can remove the covers and clean them out. On some 12v engines the scrubbers can be disassembled and cleaned by soaking them in a bowl of seafoam and hitting them with a wire brush. On others you can't take them apart but you can pour seafoam through them and brush them. That'll help. Follow this by reassembling with new valve cover gaskets and do a seafoam treatment on the car and you'll see a decent difference.
