While GM PCV valves are not noted for failure, occasionally any PCV valve
can fail. When it does, you've got a mess on your hands. So, yes, I
would
change it as soon as you can find it.
I have never owned one of those 3.3L V6's, but in general, GM makes theirs
easier than some do. My guess is it is buried under something and
impossible to see.
My advice, if no one answers back with an answer, is to go back to the
parts
store where you bought it and see if they can help. Usually, one of those
guys will come out from behind the parts counter and show you where
something like that is (even as they will change your wiper blades, etc.).
