Otherwise I still say can't happen.

PCV valve should be placed as high up in the engine, and so moving to the front of the engine, either side, is likely to have less splash oil go through the PCV valve. Factory baffles plates aren't very good, and some aftermarket are even worse.

Whichever side has the PCV valve, the other side is the fresh air inlet, and flows air in BOTH directions.

PCV is front of DS valve cover; breather is at the back on PS valve cover.

Why would there be more oil splash at the back of the valve cover vs front of the valve cover?
