What if the Valve cover breather to Turbo hose is not functioning proper?

I changed my valve cover gasket yesterday and noticed a small washer just sitting in the "breather tube". It must have come from the breather valve and on closer inspection i notice oil on the other side getting into my turbo.
So I am wondering if the oil is normal or if I need to replace this valve and what issues may arise if not changed.

I’m fact I have some diagrams for you to check if you wish. It shows how the pipe work should operate. If the breathers are not working correctly idling will be rough.

Thanks Peter,

. No idea what or where the washer came from. I still have the original breather installed and car seems to idle fine. Although replacing the gasket really cut down on oil consumption.
