As was mentioned it's the Crank case Vent and tube. Here's the parts:

Vent: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JZIXIW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Grommet: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C5I49C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Tube: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000630HOA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They might be a little different as they're from my '94 Grand Cherokee, but it's the same engine. You'll want to get all three as the valve is likely to break when you try to remove the tube, and the grommet will probably need to be cut out of the valve cover to replace the vent.

A while back, I noticed (with your help) the PCV Elbow was broken on my 99 Dodge Durango SLT. I ordered the part, as well as a new breather tube and grommet.

However it seems as if the bottom part of the PCV Elbow does not fit into what I imagine the crankcase is?
(And to be fair I had to break the old one further to get it out)

It looks to me like I'm going to have to take the top of the crankcase off and put the PCV Elbow in the through the bottom, then put the grommet on and connect the breather hose?

Does this seem right? If so, is it an easy job?

What are the risks involved? In other words, what could I fuck up?
Do I need a sealant for when I put it back together or anything other than a socket wrench to pull it off?

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks!

  • TL;DR: Do I need to take apart the crankcase to insert the PCV elbow & can a novice pull it off?

    (EDIT: Bonus Question: Although I've tried to avoid using the vehicle until it's repaired, in the cases I have had to use it I've noticed the thing is DEVOURING gasoline now. Does the fact that the breather tube isn't hooked up at the moment have something to do with that?)
