   If you like mate?
   I've circled where I think this the pipe would run to. Green circle is the sensor in my first post, red circle is where I think its pipe goes?

   well i been out and looked, but its all been taken apart as someone was gunna buy the head but the pipe is a wonky c shape, the other end is a bit bigger than the end that you have circled in green but has a solid plastic joiner fitted inside it.

    its the idle control valve, its either supposed to be plumbed back into the filter system as in the pic above
    
    or just put a breather filter directly on to it if you have an aftermarket induction on

    Nice one, I just happen to have a spare filter knocking about, I'll fit that before I get an oil catch tank next month
