Default Where is the Ocv filter?

Whack-a-mole threw p1349 so I would like to check the drivers side ocv filter first. I see the ocv.

The filter is under the front cam bearing cap. It's is just a cone made of wire mesh and is very labor intensive to get to and replace.

The oil control valve itself is probably the culprit. They have been known to fail anywhere after 100k miles. The valve is quite easy to replace as it is held in with a single bolt on the top of the front bearing cap which is in between the timing belt cover and the valve cover. Bank 1 is the drivers side. Are you getting any driveability issues along with the code?

Yeah there was a rough idle noticeable when stopped. Yeah the valve would probably be the easiest thing I have done on the car haha.
