Thank you Fatboy. Not sure how I got knocked off. What is it’s purpose?
Probably not a part I could find.

Moisture drain and pressure vent. From heat of expansion and condensate respectively.

Not sure how I got knocked off.

Since it fell off in your garage, I would guess that the prime suspects are: cat, mouse, or squirrel.

Solve any of those with a badass dog.

If the notch that holds it in the hole is not split, lube and gently work it back into its hole.

I'd try a little ring of dish soap so it will dry and hold snug.

Thanks everyone. I think the notches on the plastic clips broke off. I’m going to stop into local starter rebuilding shop. It’s a Denso starter so I’m hoping this is a common replacement item
