Noticed off the back right corner of the head there a pipe on an elbow was out. It's about 2inch below the 1 from inducion kit to he head. I pushed back in went for drive checked and was back out. Any help cheers

Does it come out of the rocker cover? If so its the oil breather pipe.

Yeah, its probably what saxo_vtr123 said, that pipe just places the hot oil vapours back through the inlet with the air intake, and burns them up in the cylinder. you can put a breather filter on the end which is better for your cold air intake but worse for the environment

Might also be the crank case breather...?

On mine I have a rocker breather and a crank case breather which were both fed back into the throttle body inlet... mines a 90bhp VTR the later ones only had a rocker breather going into the throttle body.

Won't affect the running of the engine, if you cane it you might get a bit of oil out of it no big deal.
