PCV systems are often comprised of two connections, one on each side of the V engine. One side is the fresh air into the crankcase, the other, vacuum from the engine's intake. There's one valve, on the side of the engine where a line connects directly to the intake manifold.

I do not have information on the V6 PCV system. I'm attaching diagrams to give a general idea how it works.

The system operates in a loop fashion, outside air entering one side of the engine, crankcase fumes being sucked into the intake through the other.

One side of the engine, there will be a fresh air feed. This connection will go into one of the valve covers. On this side, there are no valves. It's just an open piece of tubing. Without this open end, the vacuum acting on the crankcase would be akin to sucking on a straw with one side closed.

On the other side of the engine, a line coming from a valve cover will attach to the intake manifold. The PCV valve will be on this "dirty" side. PCV valves often go into a port in the valve cover, a line then running from the valve to the intake.

The PCV valve is closed or near closed when the engine is at idle. This is when crankcase fumes are low, vacuum is high. Drawing large amounts of oil through the PCV valve is a tell the unit is open at idle, not closed.

The PCV valve is open when the engine RPMs are higher, the vacuum present, but lower. Crankcase pressure is higher. Spent fumes are highest at higher RPMs. A valve stuck closed will often present with oil leaks, often in the valve cover area or around the PCV valve. The fumes are trying to escape, but there's no way out.

The valves are really common. Any major parts store or dealer should have them.

Edit,

If you're concerned about a noise coming from the valve, and it sounds like the ones in these links, it's normal. https://www.google.com/search?q=mus...g5MTdqMGoxNagCArACAQ&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

thank you very much for your time and the explanation. I found my v6 had 2 Pcv valves . I removed the one in driver side and I was confused , it only had a hole. I’m pulir it back . I went to passenger side and this looks like a regular Pcv valve . Like the one I ordered from store. So I replaced it . Thanks again
