Most likely been squashed or something when working on the engine or it has been trapped when the engine cover was put on?

cant have been trapped as ther is not enough give on it to get trapped anywhere - if that makes sense - will it cause any problems with running - or could it?! it shouldnt should it?!

Hello

Mine, like yours, was starting to fold in on itself. They do this as oil slowly brakes down the rubber from the inside out. I changed it for a bit of blue pipe

Its for the rocker cover ventilation and should not be blocked up really
