Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

I was out looking at my car and I just noticed that the part circled in red isn't connected. Then I was trying to get a better look at it and might have cracked the part circled in blue.
Can I still drive the car, or should I park it until it is fixed?
Should I buy another stock PCV system hose or go with a catch can?
Would it be OK to drive it like this? From my limited understanding of the system, the oil and vapors would just be released in the engine bay instead of being routed back in to the intake.
It would be fine(I would think) if the engine side was open, but the throttle body/intake side needs to be plugged otherwise it will cause a high idle from the vacuum leak.

This was my thought behind it also. Since the break in the line isn't between the valve and the throttle body, there shouldn't be a vacuum leak.
This may have been broken for the better part of 2 weeks and just now found it. I didn't notice oil behind the intake where the lines would have been leaking.
I'd be real careful of the leaks. Makes for a lean burn. If there's any way that you can reconnect, maybe using "Help" stuff, I'd do that, but from historical references, vacuum leaks have been a sore spot.
that setup looks just fine to me Brett, although I'm not 100% certain I believe the PCV valve should be after the catch can and before the intake manifold that is where I have mine.

I will look in to that. I heard the RevXtreme catch can has the valve built in.
Revextreme is the best from what I have heard but I'm running a Thunder racing one because I got it used and it was cheap. I also have the LS2 valley cover which has a built in pcv valve and I also reused my stock one after the catch can.
