take off the Lexus plastic cover. PCV valve should be on top, back left corner of the intake manifold if you are standing in front.
Look for a black tubing clamped onto a black peice of plastic tubing that has a 90° angle to it. On end in the tubing, the other end goes into the manifold.
Search for PCV valve replacement and extend the search to cover threads up to a year. There was a thread a while ago that has very nice picture of the location and good/bad PCV valves.

2001 ES PCV Valve Location
I appreciate all the replies and pictures , but for the record, my 2001 ES engine is not built like the engine in the picture. I have no PCV at the same location. I have tentatively found that some engines may have been retro-fitted with a threaded brass PCV valve in the left rear (facing engine) valve cover. This may have been done to help with ventilation to mitigate the gelling problem with other V-6 engines.
