I noticed that in mine yesterday, what exactly is the point of it?
Also, it would likely not hurt the engine, as if it fell, it'd travel back down into the sump, and would then either get caught in the intake strainer screen, or would end up on the oil filter.
The oil goes from Pan->strainer->oil pump->oil filter->rest of engine->back to pan (and some goes through the oil cooler if its open) So it'd probably be filtered out first.
