Though I can change out the AOS in a short order now having done it once.
What's interesting here is that little connector may be rather important. It serves as a PCV, or more accurately a NCV valve. I have seen a theory that blames that little **************** being the culprit for many failed AOS - the vent fails open and floods the AOS with oil, which in turn kills the AOS. I'd like to get my hands on it to take it apart and study it, I just haven't been able to find the damn thing lol.
