Check to make sure the hoses tight. If you have an old muscle car or classic it might be OIL coming from the breather tube, unless you know for certain that its coolant. If you really do have an old car its a common thing, no fix is needed. Explanation: the oil gets hot and vapors much like steam comes out the breather tube, thus it looks like you are leaking coolant or OIL, but really its just vapor.

What is the function of the car engine head?
The engine head is physically mounted on top of the engine block and is capped by the valve cover (which usually has the car manufacture's name on it). you can also find it by tracing the exhaust pipe to the engine. it does several major things: 1) it houses the valve assemblies for allowing intake of gas mixture and exhaust of combusted mixture 2) houses the spark plugs for combustion 2) will almost always house the cam shaft/s (unless its a push rod engine) 3) provide bearing surface for cam lifters 4) provide junctions for intake manifold and exhaust manifold 5) continues coolant route throughout the engine hope this helps!
What signs are there for a blown valve gasket?
Valves have seals instead of gaskets and if one was bad you would have oil on the spark plug for that cylinder if you were to take it out and inspect it. A bad valve cover gasket would leak oil on the outside of the engine. a bad head gasket would put oil and/or pressure into the coolant system, coolant into the combustion chamber causing white smoke, or coolant into the oil. signs of a blown head gasket can be:- coolant leaking outside of engine from head/block area,coolant in engine oil, oil in radiator,over heating of engine.loss of pwer.loss of coolant from coolant resevoir, smell of coolant while driving, and not being able to tell where it is coming from

No, if there is coolant in your valve cover it'll be mixed with oil. You blew your head gasket, possibly warped or cracked your head. It may look like coolant is leaking from your valve cover but it's your intake gasket leaking.

Where is the pcv valve located on a 1998 Lincoln continental?
What size engine do you have? Cause on the 3.8 & 4.6L engines it is mounted in the valve cover on the rear of the engine under the air intake hose. If you see your Mass Airflow Sensor it should be to the left of that on the valve cover. If you have a 5.0 it is located in the intake manifold. Hope this helps. What size engine do you have?
