crank case ventilator

While changing my glow plugs, I removed my crank case ventilator and tore the rubber seals on the bottom. Now it doesn't seal properly and I can see a little bit of smoke now and then when the truck is idling.
Does anyone know where I can get a new crank case vent (besides Ford that quoted me $86)
Also, what is the recommended interval to change this? My truck has 138,000 and it has never been changed?
Will it hurt my truck to run it as is? It has less power and is getting worse mileage since I put things back together. I changed the air filter - it didn't help. The fuel filter is relatively new.
At least the glow plugs work now...
