Default PCV delete Q

so I thought the PCV connection on the E7 302's was only from the passenger valve cover to the EGR spacer. So I capped the 2 holes and added a breather on the valve cover.
I was told on the e7's that the actual valve is on the back of the drivers head. Is this true? The guy told me that you need to pull the valve and the little mesh screen on the back of the head and use some kind of plug or bolt to cover the hole. He also said that if you just add a breather without deleting and covering the head part it can cause extra crankcase pressure and cause seals to blow. Coincidentally, a few thousand miles after running the breather my oil pan is leaking quite a bit. My rear main was already bleeding but the pan just started a few weeks ago.
Can some one point me in the right direction on how to properly delete the PCV system.

I capped off the hard line on the bottom of the intake, but never saw an actual valve.

the pcv valve in on the intake manifold, on the lower part right in the middle. two breathers would be better then just one but if your running the stock valve covers then one is all you can do.
im thinking about deleting my pcv valve and running two breathers but i have a sc. if the car doesnt have forced induction or n2o there is no reason to get rid of the pcv system.

Anybody got a pic and a description of what exactly needs to be done to delete the PVC system and add breathers? I got through a V3 install and love the power but definately need this mod.

Thanks and God bless,
