Ford Ranger

Positive Crankcase Ventilation.  This valve (normally on a valve 
cover) connects to the air intake at some point.  At any engine speed, 
it draws (hopefully filtered) through the engine, thus routing any 
gasses caused by oil heating, blow-by, or other obnoxious 
non-combustion internal engine gasses to be routed through the engine 
intake and be further burned during the combustion process.

Sorry for the dumb question, but what's a PCV valve?

That could be a bad PCV valve, couldn't it?
