    Its not needed, just oil breather that runs crap back through the engine. Just block the hole in the throttle body and the cam cover, or replace the pipe, you won't notice the difference either way.

    Wouldn't block an oil breather off tbh, run it to a catch tank or replace it with a bit of pipe. Or use a tiny filter on it, but that's not really the best thing to do

    It's the crankcase breather. Worth replacing or you will start seeing oil in that area.

    Go to local scrappy and put one in you pocket. That's what I do.
