It\'s a 4" plastic tube attached under the intake, with 1/2" rubber hose either end.
Anyone know it\'s purpose? Mine looks like it dribbles oil where I\'ve pencilled yellow.

Its a breather filter for the fuel tank. Under certain conditions, a solenoid attached to it draws fumes from the petrol tank and sends them into the UIM. Cap it off ( i did a year ago with no probs since).

Cap off the engine end only, you can allow the fuel tank end to vent to atmosphere. It\'s only required for the emissions rubbish anyway.
