prolly the gasket around the PCV valve. cost is about $1-$1.5 from a dealer and you may as well replace the valve itself but dont get one from a dealer ($20) get a generic one from local auto parts store (<$8)

may i suggest...

A thorough cleaning of the throttle body and a fuel injection treatment..the good kind using BG product about 80.00-125.00 ...the car will FLY after these are done..i guarantee you will notice the difference the minute you put your foot on the gas pedal.
