The crankcase vent is connected to the lower intake manifold where it normally goes. If you zoom in you can see it. 

 

Some people on here think that RTV silicone is the devil, but if used correctly, there’s nothing wrong with it.

 

I put a valve cover gasket on my truck from Rock Auto that works really well. It’s like a weird waxy material.

 

It’s a Fel-pro VS26045A.

did you apply rtv when replacing your new gasket, if so, where? and did you torque the valve cover bolts or just snug them up

No RTV, just the gasket. It tends to relax, so the bolts need to be snugged back up from time to time.
