The "What does this one do?" is part of the PCV system. The 3800 utilizes a internal PCV valve system, that runs through the block and heads. Don't block it.

first of all thank you for helping but what i dont get is the PCV is on the other side of the LIM im pretty sure the 3800 dosent have 2 pcv passages theres no sign of any oil vapor or anything in the holes which means oil dosent get through that part at all, so what could it be??

It'* PCV. Even the L67 S1 has two PCV passages through the LIM.
