Older C5 owners...Something to check for if you have oil leak.

Been seeing a few small drops of oil on the garage floor and got looking around under the hood and found this. The "two into one" connector is located in back of the motor near the oil pressure sending unit. It connects both valve cover breather outlets to the PCV valve shown in the other pic. Both were brittle and most likely never replaced previously. The one in back of the motor was completly broke off and thats were the oil was dripping down the back of the motor to the oil pan and onto the floor. The other one encases the PCV valve and when I took the hoses off to replace the flexible rubber hoses on the end of it...it also broke because of age,heat etc. Might be a good area to check if you developed a oil leak lately. Especially if you recently had your oil pressure sender replaced as this hose runs right past it and if moved can break easily.
