What's this?

Anyone know what this is on the rear of the timing cover?.
Looks a bit home made. Might have it off and see.
If you don't start, I'm going to give you a damn good thrashing!!!

possible breather modification, although difficult to see any advantage

 I'd say Bill is on the money. I tried that once but there's too much oil splashing around there. Hence your PO re-plugging the hole.
Cheers.
