If you're going to do the repair I would strongly suggest that you take some extra time and do the CCV reroute as well since it will prevent the hoses from becoming oil soaked in the future.

Whenever a component fails only a few miles after the warranty expires, some dealerships will work w/ you to get a reduced price (or even cover it completely at their discretion). This sounds like a good candidate - it should not have split. Have you asked the dealership if they will cover it? Maybe you pay the first $100??

E-Mail me at SWMod500 at lakecable.net and I think I can get you a deal on some better than stock and cheaper than that dealer price!
