Thanks!

I expect that the breather hoses are the ones in the "related parts" tab of this: https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/996-107-026-01-M100&SuperCat=Y&SVSVSI=1060.htm#tab1

Edit: Or maybe the longer hoses pictured here:


I agree with Brian. It would be risky to drive it. Best to have it towed to another shop.
