breather hose -- not a big deal because its not a vacuum line -- but car will run smoother if you fix it... i believe that tube goes to the driver's side airbox Y-tube.

Any 7/16 hose will work. May not OEM look, but will work.

And yes, it's PVC hose, connecting right valve cover to left valve cover.
