Its the hose that runs from the front of your valve cover to under the intake manafold
They are pain to replace.

Also if your valve cover gasket it leaking its reccomended that it be replaced at the same time.

Thanks! Antiburn, for the info & the RealOEM website. Yeah, I'm just getting ready to replace the valve cover gasket & plugs. About a month ago I started to smell burning oil through my heating vents. I popped the hood and found the leak @ the bottom center of the valve cover leaking onto the exhaust!!! So I figured maybe I should replace the crankcase vent valve too! I purchased the valve cover gasket, nut seals, & plugs from Autohaus for about $60.00. I don't have the crankcase vent valve yet, but there selling it for about $80.00 bucks I guess that's the going rate!!!
Thanks again Antiburn,
johnnybayonne,
