Default Vacuum hose??

Hi guys I recently got a c5 a couple months ago and it’s come with a list of problems. Recently I spotted an air leak in one of the little hoses. However I’m new I can’t find the name of this exact part anywhere, does anyone know what’s it’s called?? It’s circled in red. When I tried to see where the hole was the whole part came off it’s gone. Does this also mean it’s unsafe to drive anywhere?? Thanks!

I messed up I actually mean this small piece right here

Tiny lil hose

It looks like it could be the PCV valve housing.

I have found the perfect hose, it's gates : It is also the near exact hose for the coolant recovery tank to Radiator overflow hose.

A closer picture with more light would have helped.
