Help ID please

A co worker was telling me he has a tube on his engine coming from the pass rear to the front of the engine. I believe near the hpop. He said it is rotted away. I have read about these before, a common issue, but I don't remember what it is for. I thought it was something to due with the EBPV.

Ebpv tube runs from the front of the passenger side exhaust manifold to the front of the engine near the hpop resivior
The ebpv tube is know to rot out and new one can be had from the usual suspects... clay at riffraff or parts guy ed
