Where can I find this valve? I think that is where my oil leak is. I am using oil - no spots in the garage and I am not burning oil - just using it!

The PCV won't cause the use of oil. It will be located on the valve cover. Here is a general picture of one:

Can you tell me how many miles you drive before you use a quart of oil?

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Joe -

I am driving about 1,000 miles give or take. I am now a stay at home mom so it is hard to judge. We do our own oil changes and we are not due for a change yet, but have added a quart of oil. Any other ideas on what it could be? We are still under warranty and our next step may have to be the dealership. (Yuck!) Lol

I am going through the exact same thing. About a qt/1000 miles. The last time they claimed it was the PCV valve, changed it, still burning. This time, they say PCV valve again, it's getting sucked up into the hose out of the valve cover, it's a terrible design. They ordered a new hose and a pcv valve. They tell me the pcv valve is too loose in the valve cover, so now they ordered a valve cover, next appointment Tuesday. This caravan has been a complete piece of S&* since i've bought it. I'll keep you posted.

I failed smog because of a cracked PCV hose. Where is this hose located?

Most likely, the pcv snaps into a valve cover as in most vehicles

i did look thru "mitchell i" for about 30 minutes. Below is the only diagram I could find on "pcv" for your rig

if you are still lost---take a pic of both sides of your engine---maybe I can identify it for you that way easier than that! A parts store should be able to point it out for you in person!

The hose should run to the PCV valve on the valve cover.

Well I figred the same thing. I will have to take a look at the rear cover because it's not in the front. Thanks for your time.
