Its your PCV hose.. If it leaks you may have an unplugged or faulty PCV valve.. But PCV valve failure is rare..

Is there a way to tell if the pcv valve is bad cause the dealership was tryin to tell me I need a new seal on that hose

You can pull the valve off and shake it. If it doesn't rattle it's clogged.

I'm kinda confused on how the PCV is leaking though seeing how it only pulls air, unless they mean it's leaking air?

The pcv valve is on the passenger side valve cover this hose is on the drivers side valve cover and goes from the intake to the valve cover I looked on rock auto I think I figured out what it could be does a crankcase breather line sound right ?

You have 2 similar lines on either side of the 5.4. The one on the Passenger side of mine looked like it had a little oil around it. I figured it was the PCV tube. I ordered a new one, the only one listed on Rockauto, and it was the drivers side that arrived. So I replaced that anyway and to this day, I still haven't opened the book to see what the passenger side tube is called.

From what ive seen from lookin for this part the passenger side is the actual pvc valve and when you replaced that hose did u happen to see maybe an oring in there that could just be replaced I get my truck back today so havent had a chance to look at it
