Recently picked up a 1991 supercharged Fox Body. Noticed smoke coming from under the hood on the passenger side and looks like oil is leaking out of the valve/oil breather and dripping on the headers. The breather was also smoking a bit. From the research I've done the PCV valve should be plugged but have no idea how to find it. Could it be a problem with the breather itself?

PCV valve should be in back of lower intake, if still in stock location.
If what your saying is you have an open element breather than PCV may have been removed.

Pictures would help. A bunch of people run a hose from the fill neck nipple to a baffled breather tank mounted behind the passenger fender.
The hose ruining from the intake to the PCV should have a checvk valve put in it.
