If your shop vac has a skinny attachment you can probably suck it out. If it is a small plastic piece, it will most likely wash down into the oil pan and come out in your next oil change.

it is real tiny so you think it would be ok to run the truck that way, i just did not wont it going into the valve spring. what i might do if that is the case is run it then go change oil today.

I think you will be ok. Just go to the auto parts store and explain the piece to them and they should have it in stock or you may need to order it.

Crank case ventaliation is all is suppose to do.

Inside the valve cover they make a small piece of steel to semi cover the opening so oil does not splash out and then get sucked up the rubber hose.
