a couple bottles of degreaser later (and several more to go), i found this disconnected/broken bit of my steering assembly. it feels like it should thread in, however i wonder if it's just a pop in/out connection. what does it do, how do i fix it, & how much damage might all that grime down there have done already ?
thanks =)

got back from my mechanics, seems it's just a vent tube that runs between the two sides allowing the pressure from the expanding/contracting belows to be released when you turn your wheels.

This is your air idle adjustment. You can turn up or down the idle speed here.
There is also a screw and nut above to do this. If this was "open" and I don't think it is, there would be a huge vacuum leak and your car probably wouldn't run.

i'm familiar with the idle adj. screw, but i suppose you're right, that hole must not actually be open. any idea on that steering piece ? that's actually got me a little worried.

I don't think that is a hole, even though it looks like one
