Default Hissing dash question

I found the source of the vacuum leak under my dash.




Found this little split in the boot of whatever this device is. Actually just what is this thing? I feel like a tube of silicon is all I need to fix it.

Default lol no

Okay I played around with this things function and I do not believe a silicon patch will be the best choice long-term. I am going to patch the part with silicon while the boot is elongated. Maybe the silicon will hold for awhile. I also figured out what this thing is!

LBLMFR ACDELCO GM ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
LBLPARTNUMBER 15-72605
LBLDESC 52487593 OBS ACTUATOR ASM
VPI 1-877-846-8243 ; 1 Per Veh; Years:1997-2000

I can't find anyone that has these in stock. Can anyone assist in sourcing one?
