PCV Split, Exhaust Smoke :(

[jj2007uk]

Hi all, I've just found a split pipe on the cupra. It's right next to the dipstick and joins onto where the lower pcv hose is or that general area, would the following link be the correct part that I need?

This hose and my lower pcv hose are both split quite bad, could this contribute to smoke coming out of the exhaust white/blue?

If not I know it's probably something more severe on the way out.

Recommended to replace them all whilst you're at it. OEM pipes will fail on you

[edit]
Splits in these pipes will also degrade performance, its a boost/vacuum leak. You will also run lean (intermittent). Not sure if they contribute with blue smoke, that might be gasket problem?

I've ordered the lower pcv hose from creation, it's just the one that I'm trying to find. It's next to the dipstick on the right of the middle pipe.
At first it was white smoke but with small bits of blue every so often.
Bloody cars!! Ha

Anyone know where there's an online fitting guide?

Cheers
