I have a 2001 ram with a 318 that is new to me, can somebody verify which side the valve cover breather and pcv valve are on. It has a cai spectre brand intake installed and the passenger side valve cover elbow is plugged into the intake tube. Is this correct? Thanks for help

 

Mine has the Breather on the right (passenger) side, and the PCV on the left.

 

So the breather on your passenger side connects to the air box? I'm getting a terrible air leak sound from this cold air intake. Everything is tight. Just making sure it's properly installed

 

Mine is all stock, and has the hose from the breather going to the airbox.
Is there a gasket between your cold air intake, and the throttle body?
Does the intake sit squarely on the throttle body?

 

I bought a new o-ring gasket for the throttle body, I will take it apart and see if it's not the problem
