I recently did a manual swap and am about 500 miles in. I have a oil leak forming from the valve cover and am wondering if I missed something when putting everything back together. So trying to make sure the PCV system is good. I believe #1, #2, #3 are part of it correct? Any easy way to test if it's operating correctly? While idling I removed the oil cap and put a glove on there and it inflated a tiny bit (not a lot but definitely not sucking in) - looks like slight positive and not negative pressure. Also, for #3 I know one side is to the bottom of the airbox, where is the other side connected to? I checked my dipstick tube and don't see any ports for it to connect to like in the realoem diagram below... Thank you!

#3 links down to where the oil thermostat is. Essentially captures the oil from the separation process and drops it back to the bottom of the oil pan.
On my smg swapped car - it is an 06 - so theres another sensor on #2 - which - i am choosing to replace all the item involved because i see the rings leaking al ittle. Since it is an oil separator - probably all sludged up.
Theres also the line from the above the throttle body that leads to brake booster.
