Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'Clean pic' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean pic' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

OK, so I was doing my 2nd oil change since I bought the car a year ago and while I was staring at the bottom of the motor waiting for the oil to finish draining I saw what looked like the end of a drain tube toward the back of the motor. Well when I touched the piece it turned out to be a loose rubber grommet or bushing of some type just floating around back there.
There were several service visits last fall right after I bought the car where it could have been not reinstalled and dropped down the back of the motor??: coolant tank let go (car was under warranty but NOT covered - really pissed me off that they called the coolant tank a wear and tear item!), then later the MAF sensor went bad..... had a new air and fuel filter put in as well with that visit.
Did a search on the part# and can't seem to find it online. It is 1" tall, 1.5" wide at the wide lip end. Part# 999 703 678 40 Crappy pic attached.
So I don't have to get chastised I have enclosed a pic of the car as well: 2001 C2 Cab, Black & Gray w/supple.... mmmmm.
Looks like an airbox mounting grommet. Fits in the body, and the posts from the airbox mount into them.
Look just to the right of the oil filler tube. Be nice; this was a 'before' cleaning pic
goes under the airbox right side, goes in a hole(of the body of the car) skinny side first. you must take out the airbox to reinstall it. a spike from the airbox (air filter is in the airbox)fits in it.Hope this helps.I found mine on the garage floor after doing my first oil change and air filter.
