If this is the location let us know. If it is somewhere else or is causing running issues then by all means get a new one.

I should've been more specific and perhaps the use of "cracked" is misleading. You know where the nipples are (for PCV, etc) near the bottom of the "box"? Well, in my case, everywhere the nipples are located, the box has split. As a result, some unmetered air is going into the intake. Engine runs fine but probably not optimally. I can open up the crack by moving the nipples around (that sounds a little strange ).
