Noise From My Engine

hi guys,

i was wondering if anybody can help me. i have noise coming from around the inlet manifold, it would appear to be coming from a part that is bolted on to the manifold i do not know its name, it has two rubber pipes connected and the noise is coming from the round plastic bit. when i touch it the noise goes quieter when its warm its noisy. im thinking its something to do with the oil flow. many thanks.

    If its bolted to the inlet manifold then it's the breather pipes (I think lol)

    Gav the part making the noise is where the pen is pointing to. also is it easy to remove and replace.

    Looks like the cam rear-bearing housing (pics a little too close to get orientation).

    Oil feed pipes underneath !

    Maybe auxiliary pump fed by cam...
