No pics, but I think I can describe pretty well what you're looking for.

Find the large foam-covered hose that runs across the valve cover. On the driver's side of the engine, this hose ends between two of the intake manifold runners (3 and 4). At this end, it connects to a white plastic Y-fitting. This Y-fitting is a good one to replace... about $4, even from the dealer. The other hose on top of the Y-fitting is a short, small vacuum hose that runs to a brass nipple on the intake manifold. You should remove/clean the brass nipple, and inspect (or replace) the hose. On the bottom of the Y-fitting is a short, large hose that runs down to the oil separator... this is another hose you could remove/inspect/replace.

That's just about it. All of the hoses should just pull apart... no clamps or sealant on any of these... just be gentle - I broke the Y-fitting when I removed it to clean (did not have a new one on hand!) Might take a little longer than 5 minutes the first time you pull it apart, but it's pretty easy.
