Vacuum leak help needed.

So I get a check engine light the other day and the codes (5 of them) indicate a vacuum leak. I pulled the filters so I get a stethoscope around the intake. I found a good vacuum leak at this round part. Not sure what it is, but theres is a leak at the top of the part. Any idea what this is?

Well a lot of help you guys are! So I took my car to the dealer and it looks like a breather pipe is cracked. They are going to pull the intake off and replace the gasket and the pipe. Parts $200, Labor around $750. Wish me luck.

Be sure your air sensors (on Airbox) are good too
