E36 CCV/PCV VALVE

[glenst1]

Good morning fellow members of the forum and Happy New Year to you all.
I have a E36 325i 1993, my problem is that oil consumption is very high and there's white smoke coming from the pipes and rough idle. I'd like to have a look at the PCV and the pipes if any before tackling big things like cylinder head and rings. My problem is I don't know the location of the valve so I can change it, that's where you guys come in. Please help.

Your car just has an oil breather which recirculates into the intake boot. Your issue is either valve stem seals or rings.

Thank you for the info my man, would I have the same symptoms like high oil consumption if the breather pipe or the boot was torn or cracked?

Cracked breather pipe / boot will cause a vacuum leak and an irratic idle as unmetered air will enter after the maf.

Thanks boss, I'll check all the pipes including the boot.
