You could also do an intake manifold cover gasket leak test.
Remove the PCV valve from the passenger side valve cover but leave
the valve attached to the hose from the intake manifold.
Remove the breather hose from the driver side valve cover that
goes to the air cleaner.
With the engine idling, place your thumb over the opening where
the PCV valve was located.
After 10-15 sec., you should feel pressure ... this indicates that
the gasket is sealing. If you feel a vacuum, the gasket is leaking.
