Can I just cover the connector with something or does it need to be plugged in the inside

(2014 Audi Q5 2.0T 160K miles) Interesting stop gap rig. I had a similar issue, running rough with the P2187 code, so I spent the hour and replaced my PCV Valve, car ran smooth upon installation of the new part, but the next morning when I cleared the code, the car ran terrible, bucking, cutting out, (until the reached normal operating temperature, then it leveled out and ran fine), also got the P0300 misfire codes, took it to the dealer for an analysis, they said blown out rear main seal, similar that what you're talking about. Instead of the rear main seal sucking in air, mine appears to be doing the opposite, the air or "exhaust type" gas is escaping from the seal, does this make sense to you? Would your temp repair stop this issue?
As a side note, there was a comment about taking care of your vehicle with regular service visits. This is my wife's car and It got regular premium dealer service by the numbers until it's warranties expired @ 138K miles. The PCV valve is a critical part, (since it's failure will take out your rear main seal) and was never part of a service change interval, nor were ever informed about what could happen if we didn't just swap it out with a new part within a certain mileage, and Audi had to know about this issue. I was taken by surprise by this part failure and collateral damage, AUDI should have warned customers, this could have been prevented by a $100 part swap, now the dealer wants $8000 for the repair.

I just did this to my Q5. How many miles did you put into it before removing engine? Hopefully no downside to this besides a little oil residue or smell
