Broke this off my valve cover - what is it?

looks like your pcv, i broke mine off by leaning on it.... plastic gets weak after a while of heat cycling. should be less than $10 for a new valve and grommet

definitely your PCV valve. You should replace the grommet. Valve is about $6 and about $8 for the grommet (can only get at the stealer and they should have them in stock). Those are notorious for leakage (oil). I had to break my grommet to get it out. It doesn't go through the valve cover because of the plate underneath. Make sure when you take it out that you get all the little pieces. Use some motor oil on the grommet to get it in the hole and use some more on the PCV valve. It will be tight. You will be able to see that the grommet is pretty brittle.
