What is this split hose?

Can anyone kindly tell me what this split hose is in my engine bay? On the right side. Is this a major concern?

I don't know much about cars and always wanted a golf gti. There seems to be a minor oil leak too.

That's not hose, it's a cover around the wiring loom so nothing to worry about. If you can clean the area with brake cleaner hopefully you will be able to see where the leak is coming from. It's possibly coming from the vac pump which is directly above the electrical plug in your picture. Apparently very common, mine is leaking another job I need to do.

Get that vacuum pump serviced too (the parts above the wiring loom that's leaking). Mine was also leaking but I paid it no mind. it ended up failing while driving and almost couldn't stop.

That's a relief. I'll get it checked out. Thanks.

Thanks for replying.

How much does a vacuum pump service cost usually?
I was wondering if I would need to do the rocker cover too. Thoughts?
