OMG I think my Camaro is SERIOUSLY F-ed up!!! HELP!!!!

Oh **** man I cant believe it...I just baught this car about 3 weeks ago and have been slowly fixing it up. Its a '89 RS. Today I was changing the spark plugs,and it seemed like all of the plugs I took out were pretty seriously clogged. Well,I was getting to my last plug for the change,the plug in the back on the drivers side,I noticed a plug about 6 inches back from the plug that you would pull out to put oil into your car...
Well,the plug about 6 inches back from your oil inlet plug,the little thing has a wire or tube coming off it. So do you know what im talking about!? Well its friggin LOOSE! It is just there,and you should see the gunk and **** it let in!
What can I do now? I have brand new plugs in,I dont want to foul them up,do I do an oil filter and oil change? I know I have to get this thing replaced...I think its called the PCV valve or something...

What should I do? Its let all sorts of **** in.... please help.

Go to the store and get a new one, and a piece of hose for it. Less than $5 for the whole deal. You might need the grommet that it fits down into, which might possibly run the tab over $5... it might even make it as much as $6.
