After a few days I got a MB original plastic hose that is raped in a soft rubber and the o-ring. So I just inserted the rubber o-ring in the valve cover and after that I put some oil on the plastic hose end and I locked it in. Easy and painless and now my valve cover is oil free.
Yep, that is what I need. I guess since mine is so hard, I thought it was hard plastic originally and wasn't meant to be replaced. I have the same hose you mentioned, with the foam around it. My old one had a garden hose on the top half...not sure why they bothered with that, but it didn't look right! Haha
