Question Crank Case Vent (CCV) Location?

Just wondering if our 5.9's have these and how are they vented? My 7.3L PS had it venting off the drivers side valve cover and connected back into the intake, so it vented into the intercooler and caused a lot of oil accumulation on the intercooler boots and eventually if fills up the intercooler .

There is a two stage box under the plastic cover over your valve cover. It has a split inside with a high and low side. Low side has a line running back to the crankcase, and the high side has the vent hose which comes out right near/above your starter. Despite their efforts, it will still generate a drip every so often, but much better than what they ran on the VP equipped trucks.

So the end of the high side has a hose that just ends at or near the bottom of the engine and drips out there. So no recirculating through the intercooler, thats waaaaay better than the International design.
