Need help with oil line question

Yeah, someone broke the elbow off and stuck a bolt in there. No real big deal if you are going to run a catch can. then you probably won't be running it back to the intake anyway.
If I were you, I would either get an elbow and re-attach it where it should be.......(but you might not be able to since who ever put the bolt in there might have screwed it up so it won't take the elbow)................or just pull out the remaining plastic piece from that hose and plug up iy up. You could also just remove that entire hose, leave the bolt, and just got get a tight fitting end cap and put it on the oil filler neck.
If/when you get a catch can, that hose will come off and be replaced by another and you will probably just vent the catch can and not bring it back to the intake anyway. See the attached pic.
