PCV valve location and replacement

I am a new member as of 25 minutes ago. I have a 2003 Explorer 6cyl and am trying to locate the PCV valve for replacement. I googled it and looked at pictures but not having any luck under the hood.

It will be on the backside of the drivers side valve cover facing the firewall. Gotta reach kind of blindly back there and pull the hose off of it and then twist the PCV counter clockwise to remove it.
When I replaced mine, it kept leaking oil because the threads on the PCV are huge and do not seal well.
I resolved the leak issue by putting a small bead of RTV around the neck of the PCV and then installing it.
