1998 V70 AWD Wagon w/90K - Looking to replace PCV system. V70-XC70 1998

I have a 98 V70 AWD Wagon that may have just sprung an oil leak in the Valve Cover Gasket area. I've talked with a few mechanics on this and they say it is impossible to have a valve cover gasket failure on these volvos. This got me thinking about the time I sprung a leak with my 95 Volvo 850 sedan, so I asked it the Turbo vehicles had a flame trap set up or something similar. Then the Volvo guys came back and said yes you have a whole system of hoses etc. that are the vehicle PCV system. I asked next what the normal maintenance schedule was for this item and Volvos response was 'well we normally don't check this until there is a problem'. What a response!
So, I just got myself one of these - Volvo C70, S70, V70 Turbo Crankcase Ventilation (PCV System) - Complete Kit (Includes 1-16. Everything is included except for 17 intake hose) This also includes the intake manifold gasket. Bought from FCPGroton.com.
At the same time I figured that I would do a vehicle tune up as well. What I was wondering is if anyone has detailed/pictured instructions on how to work on replacing the PCV System? This would be a great help! I'm figuring that if I replace this system that would most likely eliminate my possible problem. I figured that after I changed out the system and did the tune up that I would clean up the area in the engine that has this leaking oil on it. Then see what happens after a week of driving to see if the problem is still occurring.

Look forward to the replies on this.

Also, one other item pertaining to this car. I'm looking to replace the fan just behind the radiator tank. It seems to be starting to make some serious noises when it does kick on. Does anyone know where I can get on of these for a resonable costs? Let me know. Everything that I found so far has been $300 or more for a fan and that is just no possible for me!

Thanks.
