What is this pipe for?

Apparently this is a common problem, mine had a hole in the exact same place as yours, as a temp solution I spliced mine with another piece of rubber hose I found and when I get a chance I will try to replace it myself, I don't think it is a 15 min. job though, it's hard to reach in the back of the eng., I think you have take out the whole microfilter assy. to get better access to the vent hose.
I purchased the new crankvent hose for $20 at the dealer, the new hose is made of a stronger material. Let us know how it goes when you replace it.

the only thing you have to remove is the top plastic engine cover and supports for it. 30 minute job. an hour if you're slow.
