if standing on the passanger side, it is to the right of the oil filter. i think it is right above the oil sender.

The easiest way to get to it, is to remove the air intake pipe and all associated hoses, the alternator, and possibly the rad shroud (unless you can aqueeze there). It sits right behind the alt, going into the block. You can try removing from underneath, but will have problems getting a good grip with torque.

Remove the alternator and the front intake manifold bracket.
If you have big and bulky hands (like me) removing these helps a lot.
Attack it from the underside (you need to remove the splash guard too!)
Its a 17mm size, use a good set of long nose pliers to remove the clip, by any chance, no not put any sealant around the new PVC threads.

Be careful with it though, the hose going to it may be old and hard, thats what happened to mine. I finally got the damn thing loose (which takes forever, there's not much clearence for turning in there) and the hose broke.
