Frankly I don't know about your 98, but unfortunately I've been forced to learn about my 2001 2.0 ES GT Protege. I would have to assume... that your engine is basicly similar. For a quick glance look under the air breather hose that leading to the throttle body also attached is your gas pedal linkage. You will also see several metal lines coming from your exhaust manifold area over to the ERG valve area which is immediately below the throttle body mounted on the drivers side of the engine toward the fire wall. In my case I have owned the car since new in Jan 2001 and Ive put 177,000 kms to date. My only complaint about the car is the dammmmm ERG valve giving me idling problems and needs cleaning or replacing every 30,000 kms.
Good luck with yours and

On my 1997 Protege a hose runs from the valve cover to the air intake assembly. Where the hose connects to the valve cover is the PCV valve.
in the petrol tank
Replace the PCV Valve.
To add transmission fluid to a 1998 Mazda Protege, locate the transmission reservoir. It is typically located on the left hand side towards the back of the car under the hood.
