[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1464862, member: 19880"] Looks like a tank vent or tank overflow. Can't really tell where it comes from. No chance that oil is coming from that hose. The sponge on the left often gets saturated when oil changes are done if the mechanic isn't careful. One possibility is that the oil filter wasn't tightened properly or the wrong one was used. Common issue for some Bosch, Purolator or other brand filters not sealing properly due to a redesign. The baseplate on some of these is convex rather than concave and the plate makes contact before the gasket seals fully. A leak is common in these instances. [/QUOTE]
