Can anyone tell me where the crankcase breather is on a 1982 Ford Pinto 4 cyl engine?

This engine is in my Bobcat and is apparently a Ford pinto engine.
 
this engines has positive crankase ventilation (hose from valve cover)also built in to oil cap hope this helps
 
Isn't that just mercury's pinto? It's a 2.3 right, should be the hose coming out of the valve cover. It's been so long I can't remember that one might have a tube coming off the side fo the block.
 
It is on the back side of the valve cover with a hose going to the air filter housing also known as a PCV valve (positive crankcase ventilation)
 
you need to replace what is called the PVC valve (positive crankcase ventilation)
it should be plugged into the valve cover into a rubber pocket and cost about $4.00
I may guess the valve cover is blue?
