That is the "oil separator box". It's a part of the pcv system.

Remove it...spray a bunch of brake cleaner in it...shake it up...pour it out...repeat.

Reinstall it with a new o-ring...https://www.ipdusa.com/products/5700...tor-box-o-ring

Replace the box and hoses. It is very inexpensive and the proper way to maintain the vehicle.

If ya decide to replace the box don't cheap out with aftermarket... go whole hog with oe at fcpeuro for $55 lifetime warranty.

Aftermarket boxes are apt to split at the seam.
