Default Hose just above engine cover

Hello everyone, I am trying to find out what this hose is for against the firewall just above the engine cover. I believe at some point somebody broke a clip because it sags in the middle and hangs very close to the engine cover, if not hitting it because I can see on the cover where it has been rubbing. Trying to find the clip and unfortunately, when i search the diagrams it is hard fro me to tell exactly what it is.

Thank you everyone

That hose looks to me to be part of the PCV system, and if so there is no problem with it sitting on top of the engine cover, as long as it doesn't get too hot and melt. Just to be safe I suggest you wrap it with insulation tape where it touches anything.
Can't help you with the mounting clip part number but your local dealer should be able to help.

If memory serves, that's the brake servo vacuum pipe. They're pretty solid, and I doubt anything will come from it touching the plastic engine cover, but nothing a zip tie wouldn't fix.
