So, it's my birthday today; I wen't out to my car to and turn the ignition. I heard the alternator try to start the car, but after about a second that sound changed to a slightly duller version of it (which you'll here in a video I'll provide a link to).
And now that I've tried starting it a few times, my battery is pretty much dead, so I've got it on a charger right now.
I bet it could be the battery, but while I wait, I figured I might as well as get a head start on other possibilities just in case the battery isn't the problem.

After popping my hood I found what looks to be some kind of vacuum tube popped off my intake pipe and it looks to have oil on it. Any relation to my car not starting??

Also, my car put out an engine code about a month ago that said that my car is running lean. Any relation? Oddly enough, that code cleared on it's own...
I'll take whatever advice you can give!
