The next thing is, there is a tube coming out of the top of the valve cover that has no hose connected to it.
Where would that hose go? to the PCV Tee fitting, it goes.
i (valve cover) but is a PCV hose for SURE. and is revised. 89/90s
ok , the 89s, have many revisions in just 1 year, hose wise. to top of TB for PCV. some have a PCV heater (water heat)
evolution fast changes,
If you post a photo of your engine this is easy to determine.
question did you click all 89 links on right table here.

photos really help
for sure on 89a or 89b PCV factory revisions.
Here is a somewhat close-up photo of the pipe that is coming out of the valve cover.
The engine is embarrassingly oily, as you can see. The fan has sprayed the leaking oil all over the right side of the engine.
When I replaced the timing belt, water pump and timing cover I also replaced the radiator hoses and heater core hoses and a couple more hoses too.
I'm afraid pressure washing is going to cause more problems (electrical). There are wires on the right side of the engine that are not enclosed in the black harness material. Previous owner must have removed it.
I replaced the valve cover gasket hoping to resolve the oil leak but I think oil might also be coming out of that tube.
I'm trying to make sure that all the hoses and belts I just replaced are not going to get saturated with oil.
P.S. The droplets in the photos are not fresh oil. It rained after when I had the hood up.
