My guess is a pin hole camera. I replaced AOS and upper hose but left the lower vent hose untouched. This is after spending some time trying to figure out where hose is being routed.
There is no room to stick my hand in to disconnect the other end behind the driver seat. Removing the airbox will give some room. Can't see how to reach in from behind the seat.

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.
