Trying to remove the airbox assembly for inspection yesterday and even though I tried to be careful I had a mishap.:fail See video

It's the check valve, isn't it? Could perhaps try and wrap it in electrical tape and limp to my indie but it's a fair distance and I don't fancy the brakes letting go on me.
The good news is that the airfilters were Mann and clearly pretty clean. But there was a good deal of oil that has come up through that breather tube at the back by the ATF dipstick and gone down into air intake.
