as stated above it had a one way valve in it which creates pressure for your servo and brakes!

no mate silicone wont do as it will suck in when the engine is running cause of the vac pressure , suppose it has to be an OE part an then cover it in silicone for the effect ???

ah blow it... i\'ll get it replaced and worry about tarting up later.
 
are there any other fatal pipes that normally deterriorate(sp) at the same time as this one?  and where is the best place for getting OEM parts for the RX?
