It would probably make the engine idle a bit rough, as that is a crankcase breather hose. Would have to be quite a leak for you to notice though I would of thought.

yeah it would be dragging in air. effectivly the same as taking off the oil cap affecting the idle.

Get a new one or a good one off a breaker.
