Default Rubber Cap

Hi. I was wiping the engine compartment after a body wash, I never hose the engine thanks to the posts I have read here, and on the garage floor was a rubber bolt cover. I looks like a half of a hex. Very stange shape about 1/2 in deep soft rubber. The inside is stamped ORC 37. I have been looking in my service manual at pictures for hours. I give up. Any ideas?
thanks

That is so weird. The same day that you posted this, I was dusting off my engine and had the same piece fall on the ground. Let me know if you figure out where it goes.
