So I was working on my car, just messing around, and I decided I wanted to take off the breather line thing on the driver's side valve cover, just to see what was there. So, I pulled the plastic hose off, pulled the rubber elbow off, and was left with a plastic barb sticking out of the valve cover. I yanked on it, and it came out. However, it sounded like something cracked when I pulled it out. The piece itself is fine, but it seems like it might have been glued in there before I removed it.

Did I do something stupid when I broke the seal, if that is in fact what occurred? Will it still function properly? Will it leak oil all over the place?

Maybe I'm just paranoid

the car may run a little rough. you could always fix the problem by adding a breather to the engine and get it retuned for the breather.
