SL55 Do you recognize this part?

03 SL55. Having a hard time finding the part circled in red. No part # on the tube. Could be a home-made type of fix done by the previous owner. It's brittle and cracked. Duct taped it for now till I find the real fix.
Please send your thoughts if you happened to have it in your car or if you know the right replacement part.

The tube seems to be for fuel vapor going back to the engine. Tube being cracked sends unmetered air into the engine or maybe metered fuel vapor that's supposed to go to the engine escaping out of the cracked tube.
Car runs and idles rough. I have another vacuum leak at the change over EGR valve. Plugging both leaks and if it didn't fix the rough run maybe a smoke test for further testing.
