PCV Hose Location?

Have had my 2013 MCS R56 for less than two months now and I was reading the thread below on how to perform Seafoam maintenance which I'd like to do:

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...t-r55-r56.html

But for the life of me, I can't figure out where the PCV hose is. It's been moved/eliminated in the 2013 from the passenger-side, rear of the engine. I don't see any kind of hose attached there on my Mini marked by the lack of connections inside the red square area in my pictures below.

Based on the picture from minimania.com, I pulled off the hose marked by the red arrows below while the engine was running but didn't get any suction whatsoever at idle or at 2,500 RPM.

Any suggestions?

To Seafoam your style engine you need to use the aerosol style Seafoam, and inject it into the charge piping near the back of the engine.

Seafoam for N18 cars

There are a couple pictures on our website on how to inject the Seafoam into the system.
