if its below your PCV valve then the baffles there to keep the oil from being sucked into the intake, then into the motor...for curiousity do the ports appear to have an oil film in them??? that would be a sign its woofing oil threw there...
i personally would bend it back to cover the PVC port....
maybe the dude had some funky PCV set-up and need the clearance??? or maybe that juice explosion did it....LOL....just kidding there.....
