[07 TL-S] Discovered an oil leak which seems to be from the PCV Valve?
As the title says, I discovered an oil leak around what I believe to be the PCV Valve area. Has anyone done this before, or rather is this a common occurrence on our cars? It seems like a simple removal of that single bolt and a new one can go in, but I usually have a bad experience when I underestimate things. And as you can probably see, it must have been going on for a while because it has gunked up quite a bit.
Regarding a new assembly, am I correct in assuming this would be the right assembly with the required o-rings: https://www.hondapartsunlimited.com/...dXRvbWF0aWM%3D

Yeah it's pretty simple, don't overthink it. Also try amazon.com, ebay, or www.oemacuraparts.com or the plethora of other online dealership sites.

Yeah it looks simple enough, almost too simple. But for example when I was changing the o-ring for the whining noise in cold weather, I dropped the both the old and new o-ring in the engine bay and had to get a ride back to get new ones lol. Just small things like that tend to happen to me where a 5 minute job turned into a 30 minute one.

I actually recovered it earlier today when I took my car to see if my power steering was leaking or not. As they were wiping away the excess on the covers you mentioned, the new o-ring that I dropped fell out. I still haven't found the old black one though.

To provide an update, I finally got around to attempting this and of course, something went wrong .
I go to take out the valve, and the little washer thing comes out fine and all that, but I'm like wait a minute this is short. I take a picture, and half the damn thing is still stuck in the opening. I've been trying to get at it with a pick set to try and grip one of those breathing holes and yank it out, but that isn't working either.
Any ideas on what I can do at this point? What should have been a 5 minute thing turned into a nightmare.

at this point you will have to remove the intake manifold and take the valve cover off to remove the broken piece, it happened to me in the RL and the engine bay in the RL is much tighter to work compare to the TL.

I assume if it did drop in, it wouldn't last long in there considering how brittle it was.

the chamber that house PCV valve actually does not have open end so you don't have to worry about it fell in, of course i learn that out after the fact I had removed my valve cover

So if someone gets it stuck really bad, and they can't get it from the inside no matter what, what are they supposed to do?
