Also I noticed a small o-ring missing on what looks like a drain that leaves the air filter housing (see attached pics) is this important? and what would I call this to be able to order a replacement.
and the one other question is how much oil is considered to be acceptable in the air filter housing?
Thanks for any help in advance

Hi
The blowby from the valve cover is directed into the oil seperator which sends the oil back to the oil pan and the vapor into the intake. Its a good idea to clean the filter housing up now and then - but the main thing is to replace the paper filter before it become blinded by oil and affects performance by restricting air flow to the engine.
