Default RE: help with a leak

Thats kinda strange. Theres not really any oil that goes to that area. Are you sure its not just dryed oil on the hose. Its not uncommon for oil to be in the intake tract past the turbo. The hose may have been disconnected and oil may have dripped down the hose, or the hose could be leaking.
