Default What is this hose for and should I replace?

Hi all,

While doing an oil change today I noticed this hose near the engine cover and intake manifold that looks damaged. Should I replace this or leave it? If I should replace it, do you know what part number this is for and is it easy to replace? Thank you

Are you sure it is damaged? Cracks, leaks, hard? What it looks like is cover over the hose.

+1, hose under the cover likely fine. BTW, this is the EGR vapor hose, if there were a leak, you would likely get some kind of DTC, it is part of the emissions system.
