It's the PCV valve, Positive Crankcase Vent valve. The stock ones are hard to find now.

Info on the PCV:
http://members.rennlist.com/pbanders/PCV.htm I have also heard of others putting a plug with a hole inside the hose from the oil filler to the intake; the hole (1mm?) served as a restriction all the time, instead of being open at times and closed at times like the stock valve. --DD
