I believe this vehicle came with the 3.0 Duratec V6. If so, the PCV is at the driver’s side end of the right hand (as ford calls it), or rear, valve cover, just to the right (or rear) of the throttle body. See arrow in pic below. It may be hidden under a bunch of stuff. Look for the hose attached to it.
