Identify part please

Y’all are my last resort to I’d this part. I seem to have a vacuum leak at this junction of sorts!

It had a square cover over it, making it look like Princess Leia with a square head.

That is the Air Valve #17088105 and works in conjunction with the air pump for the emissions system.

Re: Identify part please

I was checking for a vacuum leak and it started bubbling around the hose that goes at the top. Would that just mean it needs a new hose or is it a larger issue?

Re: Identify part please

Now it’s got me wondering if I need to replace the hose or the actual apparatus?! Your thoughts are appreciated!
