PVC vent hose leak

Hello all. Just saw that my PVC vent hose seem to be leaking some oil. Wondering if it’s a simple fix or just need to replace the hose, or just live with it. My oil consumption hasn’t relay been affected. Even though the car is a 2012 I only have 55k miles on it.

That’s a symptom of a PCV valve that’s stuck closed. I’d replace the valve.

Thanks Josef! Do you know if I need to replace the whole cover or can I replace just the valve?
