GM didn't include a hose on the breathers in our cars. There is a thread around that someone bought the pieces from GM to run a hose up higher than the breather with a loop in the hose. This was to keep oil and vapors from coming out of the housing though and not to keep water out. You shouldn't be getting water through the breather unless you have a tendency to drive through water that's up to your doors all the time.
