This hose does not have oil running through it. It is possible that oil maybe seeping from the cam cover gasket and into the hose, but you may also have oil in the air filter housing. I would remove the air filter element from the housing and inspect for oil. Clean the housing well, verify that no oil is seeping from the cam cover gasket. Replace the hose as well. That should do the trick! -- \\"""// (o o) +---------------------oOO--(_)--OOo-------------------------+ : Bruce J.
