EDIT: Driver side PCV Elbow

Hello All,

I've just bought my 370Z and it looks like the previous owner had some AEM intakes in there before putting the stock ones back in (There is an AEM CARB sticker under my hood, and the wiper fluid bottle is in a different spot.)

The part with the arrow pointing to it in this picture shows the unit I am talking about. Upon inspection, this elbow is split where it starts going downward. (Maybe when the previous owner replaced the intakes.)

I believe I've found some replacement options, but can anyone please explain if running the car like this is very dangerous? I am not too sure what the system does.

The car seems to be running great, but I do get a low idle sometimes when warmed up and stopped. (seems to be caused by leaks in the intake hose line) Perhaps this is related?

Thanks for any help!
