RE: VC Gaskets and VCs Painted (w/ a Question)
When you're at the dealer, have them sell you a few feet of the fabric covered vacuum line. Take the piece off on the back of the intake, a couple plugs and a couple vacuum lines and replace all of them. It's a fun job, like a puzzle. Anywhere the plastic line has broken just make the rubber/fabric one longer to compensate.

silicone is far better than the crap under the hood.
Its just a vac line. Its best if you can replace the entire line, if not, you can get a little strait peice that is like a T, but w/o thebranch. Then you can just replace the broken/brittle peicewith silicone and then zip/cable tie it to hold the line in place
And if you havent had any problems running it yet, you should be fine to wait a little longer. But you will probably get a CEL sooner than later.
