Name this: 200 Engine Video inside

[Inequality Street]

So, noticed my 200 was being a bit weird on the drive home tonight from AlexW 's.

Very loud noise from my engine, pulled over and popped the bonnet, met this:

Needless to say, as a mechanical noob, bricks were shat.

I imagined flames, explosions, and dead Ryan's.

Turns out this little fecker had fallen out:

Question is, what is it? Would I have damaged anything?

Cheers!

The metal elbow out of the rocker cover?

Its for the oil breather, not a huge issue, but it shouldn't have come out of the rocker, or had the pipe come off the elbow?

Excuse the rank finger.

But the whole thing was disconnected. Pipe still in the plug, it just wasn't plugged in. Took a good shove to get it back in too, I knd of guessed where it went

This plug fell out again today, can anyone help on what I need to do? Can I damage my car with this?

Id say put a black cable tie around it.

Pipe just gone a little loose.

Ry I'm struggling to understand, the rubber hose has come away from the metal elbow or the metal elbow has come away from the engine? (Lol)

Metal came unplugged from the engine, was just loose in the bay. Plugged it back in and all good, but it came unplugged again today.

the metal is in the tube solid, just wont stay in the engine

Ok got ya! That's unusual, I assume the noise was extra induction noise.
As below it will need to be glued back in with araldite/liquid metal.
wont cause any problems it could just spray a bit of oil mist
