Wow, almost identical to mine that I changed out 2 weeks ago congrats you are now a member of the " Wet noodle UCA " club. I'm guessing your LCAs were pretty beat up too ?

Went to top off my oil and i saw a little crack in my fresh air valve and gave it a little wiggle and snapped it completely off, so i went to the local parts store and replaced it with a pcv valve and new gasket.
