yea did a lil research on it, and sounds very feasible based on the problems. I have sourced a replacement pcv, the job seem like a DIY but would u recommend i get it professionally done considering there may be more to it than meets the eye.

No, you pull the PCV valve off the valve cover, remove the hose clamp and pull the hose off the PCV.

It could be a leaking intake manifold gasket... they like to whistle. Spray carb cleaner on at the manifold-to-head seam. If the idle changes, replace the gasket.
