Just noticed this on a car I purchased recently. It looks like a DIY repair. Would this cause any issues? I was concerned about the kink. Not sure how critical this pipe is to the running of the engine overall.

Looks like the correct pipe , either been fitted incorrectly or it’s collapsed internally. If it’s not leaking, wouldn’t be too concerned. Take it off and check it’s condition. It’s only an oil breather pipe .
