Looks like the piece of rubber out of a spark plug socket. See if you can fit another socket over it and push the rubber on down to the base of the plug.

IT was just that one because I didn't remove the coil by detaching the wire, I just yanked it out and I guess the little bottom part got stuck on it while I was pulling...haha

So once I removed the coil properly,the rubber piece came off with the coil

So I got my idler pulley tensioner replaced because it had some slight ticking. Long story short, the PS pump, reservoir, belt and hoses had to all be disconnected and put back together to get to that idler tensioner. After that was done my PS pump stopped making noise.
