Default Can someone post a pic of the rear crankcase vent tube on rocker cover?

On my 03, i replaced the engine and was taking out the cam sensor last night on the LH (driver) side and noticed, i did not have a tube on the 'exit' for the crankcase ventilation on the rocker cover right above it. I looked at the manual and it says there should be a tube going to the 'air duct?' I do not see anything not hooked up or hanging. not sure where i would have missed it and usually i do not pull those tubes off if they are connected to the car. Can someone provide a picture for reference or at least describe where that is supposed to be connected.

thanks

I have mine if you need it.

It is a big ugly shaped tube. Connects to the stock Z tube. There is a port on the bottom of the stock Z tube.

id imagine so. Its a fairly necessary part, however ive not run w out one, surely someone will post in.
Are you meaning deleted and valve case sealed, or is it an open leak on the intake tube and the case?
Thats certainly not good.
