PCV hose question..... My PCV hose is pretty much split in two. I was just wondering what are some consequences of leaving that hose split like that? Any short term/long term effects or even any performance loss?
I’m going to change the hose some time soon but I was just wondering what exactly is happening now?
Thanks

Vacuum leak and little/no positive evacuation of the crank case blow-by gases.
You may or may not notice a change in drivability depending on how bad the vac leak is, but it needs to be fixed.
You can get replacement 3/8" reinforced fuel line at AutoZone/Pep Boys/etc. Cut it to length and replace, or splice in a piece of line to replace the split piece with some hose connectors.

Thanks for the help.
The leak is bad enough that I can smell carbon monoxide when I'm driving when my windows are down.
I'm going to fix this asap
Thanks again.
