Hi all

Recently I noticed that I have a small wet area on top of the engine near the breather tube that runs from the back right side of the crankcase to the airbox. Anything to worry about? Should I just clean it up and put a clamp on the tube?

i have the same problem

from the Crank case :huh: to the Airbox?... do you mean the valve cover?

^^^nope

its this tube (not sure but i think its a pressure tube)



but it connects to valve cover

double post

if your Crankcase... is on the topside of your engine, your car is on its roof.:)


that is the breather tube that goes from the valve cover to the airbox.... its just vent the pressure from the valve cover

symantics aside. Ive never actually had that happen yet...

That tube had a "sweating" problem since the day I drove the car out of the shopwroom until I put a small clamp on it, that worked perfectly. According to the dealer it's a common "inconvenience". Just like my valve cover gasket that likes to "sweat". They like using those terms, I think my car has a gland problem.
