Default Breather hose to cylinder head is leaking oil, DYI?

I got a crazy quote from the dealer to have this fixed. Apparently it's a $40 plastic "T" pipe that needs to be replaced and the clamps redone to stop the leak. I haven't seen this myself yet but they are charging $340 in labor to do the work.

Does anyone know what they are talking about? Would this be a DIY?

Sorry I don't have anymore details.

Thanks!

Andy

Oh yeah, the subject should read DIY

Is it the Air oil Seperator? AOS is in a remote spot not easy to replace.

No, it's simply a breather hose that runs aspirated oil back to the cylinder head, part of the emissions system (like an EGR valve, but not)

I'm sorry but I just don't get your comments. They certainly are not constructive or helpful. I thought Rennlist was a supportive community for enthusiasts of Porsche cars.

I share your confusion and concern, especially given his membership status!
