I've been trying to call dealerships to figure out what my risk is and where that piece could be. I finally got a good answer from someone who was actually looking at an engine. He said that the hose in my car has two parts (upper half and lower half). The piece that broke off is in the lower half. The end of the lower half is closed off with tiny holes surrounding it to allow for oil to seep through. That is where the piece must be. I do not run any risk for engine failure so I am certainly happy about that. Thanks for all the input.
