Default Idenitify broken pipe (pics)

MY00, UK turbo. Looks like its just a breather pipe, its located under the intercooler, very close to the bung for oil temp gauges above cylinder 3.





Its 3 way, the bottom appears to come out of the block, one end to under the inlet manifold, and the other to the turbo comp housing.
Anyway, its busted. Would it be ok to run the engine, just to move the car onto a flatbed truck?

+1 for the crankcase breather, the pipe goes hard and brittle over time and falls apart.
It would be ok to run the engine to move your pride and joy.

Cheers guys.
Yeah it snapped fairly easy where it must be quite brittle.

I just remembered, I don't have any brakes on the motor at all. No discs and no calipers. So I 'll just winch it up anyway.
