Two questions, cant figure this out!
Okay so ive got a 98' 2.5L 4 cylinder 5 speed.
Question #1:
i cant seem to find my PCV valve ( No its not on the valve cover, i looked there) and the repair manual just vaguely says that its "Towards the rear of the engine" and i cant seem to find it (Ive got a vaccum leak and i think that vaccum line and PCV valve are the culprit)
Question #2
I just got my offroad lights working (woot!) and i dont need my headlights aimed parallel to the ground anymore since my offroad lights are. Anyways, How do i adjust the headlight beam to aim more at the ground then straight ahead like they are now?
Probably two dumb questions, but i appreciate all advice, thanks guys!

I have a 98 also...when I got my truck the driver's side headlight (original) was aimed correctly...passenger's side was aimed straight down at the ground like 10 feet in front of the truck, lol. There are 3 adjustment screws...the one I used needed a 5/32 wrench. Here's a picture of it...
It's a real easy fix...I just used the screw shown above (the top screw). There are 2 more; one about halfway down on the other side (seems to be for left/right adjustment), and the other all the way down on the same side as the one pictured (which is broken on the headlight I adjusted and might not be necessary). Obviously you should fix this ASAP since blinding other people on the road can result in bad things...

The 1999 Ranger 2.5L 4 cylinder PCV valve is located on the driver's side of the engine, approximately between the #1 and #2 spark plugs and under the intake manifold runners. It's on top of a small cannister called the "oil separator." It's difficult to see, especially if it's dirty, so you will probably need a flashlight. To remove it, pull it straight up, out of its rubber grommet. I use a set of long pointed pliers to grasp the rubber hose attached to the top of it and pull it up that way.
