That statement may be a bit too generalized.  I'm looking at the 'Vehicle 
Emission Vacuum Routing' block diagram for my 
Mustang in the factory shop manual.  There is a pipe from the air filter to the 
LH valve cover; the PCV valve is on the 
RH valve cover with a pipe going from the valve to the intake manifold; i.e. 
it's a simple vacuum circuit with the PCV 
valve to modulate.  No oil separator (though I've seen some available in the 
aftermarket).

Maybe 2008 isn't modern enough.
