My socket slipped and busted this line when I was tightening my oil filter back on, no I wasn't wrenching it on just a junk socket set, but I believe its the vacuum line could someone tell me what it is and if it branched off?

If you can find rubber hose that fits OD of plastic line .Use the rubber hose to put broken plastic line back together as long as it's for Vacuum.

Alright thank you, the line does have suction I don't know if that helps any

Might trace it and find where it goes. Looks to be emissions vac line.
That is one of your PCV lines. They are very brittle and can break easily. That looks like the one that comes from the passenger side head. You likely have a line exactly like that one on the passenger side of the intake and the two come together before it goes to the passenger side head. My 2009 Sedan looked just like that. The 2012 has 1 single line and it goes into the top of the intake. You also have a similar line that goes from the back of the drivers side head to your intake hose. You can replace the line with 3/8 fuel line and it should work fine. Or just stick some over that plastic line but you may have other sections of it broken. I had to replace those lines on both of my cars. I have all 3/8 fuel line on mine now going to a Tracy Lewis Oil Catch can.
PCV air line - the one connected to the intake manifold is the dirty air line and is subject to full manifold vacuum - goes to a fixed orifice - emissions part.

The other PCV line is the clean air supply and goes to the atmospheric side of the engine air intake ducting.
