Pcv valve leak/question...

[spritian]

So a nipple broke on the pcv and I tried to repair it with a lathe'd screw and some epoxy but it still leaks. Can I just zip tie the vacuum line closed till I get a replacement or will this f it up? I've got dsmlink so I don't care about the CEL as I can disable it. Attached is a pic of the vacuum line in question. Thanks!

i would just replace it, the pcv valve lets the vapors from the crankcase get into the atmosphere without polluting it. If you plug it off you run the chance of making your oil turn into sludge faster and not allowing pressure to escape the crankcase.
