Help, strut something came off car.

I havne't actually looked at it but my mom came into work today and said there was a reservior can with a hose attached to it sitting in our driveway where I park my SHO, says KONI on it, same brand as my struts. Soo...I drove to work just fine today, am I going to be able to make it home without damaging anything? What exactly is it that fell out? I'll get a picture later but she said there was some fluid coming out of the can/hose.

It looks like a home made "catch can".

You will be venting oil and crank case fumes into the engine compartment. I don't think it will harm the engine. But it could get messy with dirt sticking to the oil covered engine compartment and maybe you smelling the fumes.

Would it be easy for a retard to reattach? LOL...I can usually figure things out, I changed my starter just by looking at it.

that looks like it should be attached to the PCV valve in the center of the motor(between the heads, under fuel rails.). I attached mine in about 10 minutes with everything in the car and did not have to remove anything. It's a pain but it can be done.

Yep, that's a catch can that somehow fell off. You can just re-attach it.

Josh, gimme a call tomorrow.

P.S. Autocross this Sunday in Everett.. wanna go?
