Line on front passenger side of intake Manifold Quick question; I notice this guy is leaking what appears to be oil and need to know what exactly it is so I can replace it (part number etc.) and it is also an indication of bigger problems.

This happened to me. I think the real problem there is the short piece of hose between the PCV valve and intake. It looks like there is a tear in it. Just cut a piece of fuel hose to size and put some small hose clamps on it. I'll bet your car will idle better too.

These lines turn to junk after some years. Replace as much of it as you can with new hosing. If the hoses tear or fall apart you get sporadic idle issues from the air leaking in.

Thanks guys. I didn't think it was major, but I was planning on taking a road trip with it and found it right as I was leaving, and just did not want to take a chance. The hose is ripped, so it's a mega easy fix. I'll probably do some of that cleaning I was talking about while I'm under there.
