It's connected to your choke so that when the engine is cold and running on choke it allows a small quantity of oil to go to small holes in the cylinders (which are very likely blocked).
Its a PITA, oil leaks out the small gland on the shaft. Repacking it occasionally helps. Its not essential if you are concerned, add upper cylinder lubricant to the fuel. All of my cars were RHD so the steering column makes that thing very hard to access
