nevermind, i got it. SO for future reference. if your civic leaks alot of oil just above the oil filter and has a bad idle you may want to change the PCV valve, and if the grommet is hard then replace that to with a fresh new one. its gonna be a total PITA to get out but dont lose hope. first pry with a flat head, then try needlenose. if it starts to rip thats fine! the secret i found it to rip almost the whole lip off around it and than sort of push it in and then you can turn it sideways from there you are almost home, just stick your flat head through the hole of the grommet and pull it out and walla! real happy to get that out of the way.
