Nope, both rubber. Can't figure out why if that breather is blocked it'll cause oil to go into the cumbustion chamber and chuck it out the exhaust

i think the breather hose goes around the back and connects to an outlet pipe on the bottom end just below the lower inlet.

you can see it on this pic (just)
goes under the coilpack and round into a fitting on the back of the block / crankcase.
the reason you would get oil burning if this pipe is blocked is as the pistons travel up and down the create a pressure known as crankcase pressure, think of the crankcase as a sealed box, if this pressure cant get out from the breather its got to go somewhere so it gets past the piston rings, taking oil mist with it.
