OT - broken breather hose

2006 Volvo S60 2.5T with 80k. The breather hose that runs from the oil cap to the breather box is broken. Dealer wants $235 to change it since it requires removal of the intake manifold (the part itself is like $20). If the breather hose's purpose is simply to direct oily gas vapor to the breather box, what harm is there in just allowing the vapor to escape into the atmosphere (other than harming the environment)? I can understand changing the hose if it was plugged or otherwise impeding the release of pressure from inside the crankcase - but a broken breather seems like no big deal - especially if it isn't even triggering a fault code. Any suggestions on what I should do here?
