It´s the engine breather. Mushroom shaped thing on top of the clutch housing.

Take it out, make sure it´s clear. Refit and tighten.

The very bottom should have a hex head, turn that. The top is loose and will turn with no avail. Good luck.

Yes mate, Like Louispain stated it's your engine breather.

You will need a 14mm to loosen it. It's best to clean it with petrol or carb cleaner.

Here is a wee picture up close.

Cheers
