From looking past my throttle plate while holding it open the is slight browning and a hint of oil in there but its certainly not soaking wet - am I heading in the right direction ?

Ive got a small rubber pipe that comes off my air flow meter to throttle body pipe thats terribly corroded and cant hold vacuum so needs replacing - realoem just has it grayed out with no part number so not really sure what that means ? (Number 7 in this link)
RealOEM.com - Online BMW Parts Catalog

Ive also got my oil cap seal leaking so replacing that.

Other than that ive a few questions about what I SHOULD have went running at temprature

If I remove the CCV pipes should I have pressue at the cam cover port and vacuum at the inlet manifold port ?

Is there any test I can do to know I have the correct pressure and vacuum in the correct places ?

Many thanks guys
what engine are you running?
