Go to Advance autoparts with the old fitting and ask them for a replacement. It should be a shiny all metal one about $9 unlike the GM one which was pot metal

You will need to replace the nipple that screws into the intake manifold as well as the plastic insert that makes it a quick disconect. Mine leaked as well, I was stupid and went to the dealer for the nipple, but an auto parts store will be cheaper, for some reason at the time I thought it was a dealer specfic part.

Careful with that fitting. You can *very* easily break it off inside the intake. I had two cars that leaked there, first one I tried replacing it and it broke.. what a headache. 2nd car, I said screw that, I put tons of rtv around the fitting and it hasn't leaked in two years.

My fitting broke off inside the intake also. What I did with great success was jam a torx bit into the opening, inside the broken off nipple, then connected a ratchet and cranked that bad boy right out. Sorry I do not remember what size torx bit I used, but it worked great!
