Correct name for the drivers side PCV valve 05h17
Called the dealership today and he said it was "crankcase vent tube fitting" and the part number is 53030497 he also mentioned that it's basically a PCV valve for the drivers side and the best way to remove is just pull up and pop out.

usually that's caused by a gummed up PCV valve. Pull the PCV valve (not the 05h17 valve, LOL) and shake it. If it doesn't rattle freely, it's gummed up. Replace it with an OEM PCV from the dealership.
Here's a little note I found on another site about PCV valves and why some don't work as well:
Each engine has a specific amount of vacuum that it pulls at varying rpms. The valve in the PCV should be matched to the vacuum that the specific engine produces. The manufacturers have a specific maximum PSI that should build up into the crankcase before the vacuum from the manifold and the pressure from underneath the PCV in the crankcase pushes the valve open. For our engines, it's a maximum of 3 PSI. other manufacturers or years may have a higher or lower tolerance.
If it's too light, it will open too easily and suck unmetered air through the crankcase and into the engine, usually causing poor MPG's as the engine throws more fuel in an attempt to compensate.
Too heavy and it won't open until the pressure is too high and that usually causes it to "burp" a bit of oil into the intake. This also happens when it gets gunked up and the gunk causes it to open later than it should. Too high a PSI can also put undue stress on the plenum gasket and cause a premature blowout.
Parts store PCV's may be manufactured to fit the broadest spectrum of possible engine combinations, to reduce company overhead. They may try to split the difference between say a Chevy and a Dodge engine, which may or may not work correctly on your engine.
The same problem can arise when one changes camshaft profiles that radically alter engine vacuum. What works on the stock engine, may not on a big cam with lower idle vacuum.

Well I did go to the dealership and buy a new PCV valve because mine was stopped up, my guess is that because the PCV was stopped up this valve is starting to do the same but since I replaced it should be fine and nothing to worry about. Thanks for the info though!

Well I gave you the wrong P/N I looked under v-10
Mine has both P/Ns one is vent (97) and one goes to air cleaner (95)
The - sign before the 6 means it's not illustrated which is why I skipped to the next page wich was V-10
Any way like unregistered said it,s not a valve, it's an elbow.
below are the crank case ventilation P/Ns from page 245 98br manual
Hope this helps
