If you are referring to the engine cover, a crack will hurt nothing. It directs air around the engine to help keep it cool. If you are referring to the valve cover then the crack may allow oil to seep out, and will need to be repaired or replaced.

92 Pontiac sunbird has cracked hose from valve cover to injection cover and when replaced with one that isn't broken it wont idle right in gear cleaned out baffle in valve cover but didn't fix problem?

What does the idle do? By "injection cover" do you mean air cleaner? That would make me think you're talking about a breather hose (AKA, crankcase gas recirculation hose) Those hoses sometimes also involve a filter and/or PCV valve. If the idle fluctuates or is higher than it was or than it should be, you might have created an air intake leak. (only if the hose you replaced is in between the air mass meter and the engine.) More answers might help: Is this an automatic? What size engine?

How do you fix oil leak from small plastic cover on front of 2000 Toyota Echo engine?

If your engine is visibly leaking oil, you should remove that cover and try to find the source of the leak. But this is not something a typical do-it-yourself mechanic can fix, its possibly you will need new gaskets or worse (such as cylinder rebuild, or worst case replacement of a cracked engine).
