infamous Intake manifold leak









Those are just about all the emotions I felt today while dealing with this damn car..
I figured it would be about a 4 hour job tops and it has now turned into 2-3 day job because I always end up breaking ****.
First off:
I broke a the hose that goes from the TB to the passenger side valve cover, it has a little bit of oil in it.. What is it called? Where can I get a replacement? Is oil bad?
Second:
I broke the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve hose that connects to the EVAP canister. Where do I get a replacement? I broke it right next the TB.

also, i don't think this is normal. blow by?
(some intake ports are black and others are clean)

motor runs fine no knocks or anything, still pulls hard.
