Hissing from engine

[jell36]

I have a hiss coming from the drivers side front of the eninge, you can briefly hear it in the video below at around 11 seconds in, the sound is coming from the area that the camera moves around, is it normal?

Probably just the PCV valve making that noise. It is on the off side front of the engine on the rocker cover and has a hose coming out of it. I believe that they are meant to hiss as it's the air pressure from the crankcase being relieved and put back into the plenum.

Brilliant, many thanks. I had read that there was a hiss that was normal on the US forums but wasn't sure if this was it. Thanks for clarifying.
