Hello thanks for letting me join!
I just picked up a 02 ford ranger 3.0l for our twins. One thing that needs fixed first is oil leak from front of oil pan and timing chain cover.
My question is can this because by clogged pcv? There's lots of oil coming out of left bank valve cover on top rear. Thanks

Welcome, probably bad gaskets and seals. I'm not saying your PCV isn't clogged, most of the time when a valve cover leaks badly it is caused from a valve cover that leaked a little and the owner tried to tighten the bolts more!

Gaskets and seals aren't too hard to replace and really aren't that expensive but it is time consuming.

Maybe some pics from under the hood?

Welcome to Ford-Rangers! I talk smack about my 3.slo but in truth they are a pretty good engine. I have a slow leak on the pan gasket of my truck. It is not bad enough to drip but just bad enough to wet the rear passenger side of the pan. I have wiped it clean every oil change for the past few years then hit it with some brake cleaner to clean what I missed with my oil rag. When it starts dripping I will look into replacing the gasket. I have about 130k miles on it where my most problematic area was ignition issues. BTW: when you change the spark plugs spend a little extra for Iridium plugs.

I replace my PCV every 20k. It is cheap insurance against having one clog up. I would clean up the engine so I could see exactly where the oil leaks and then take it from there.
