    Default So i pop my hood...

    so i can get my filter out and clean it. In the process i notice that it was kinda dirty. As i examine the dirt, it looks like oil has been sprayin everywhere...? But i see no lea...well there it fucking is. Fucking shit!

    From what it looks like, it only leaks when car is running. Hose doesnt look bad! so whats up with it??

    Hoses,seals.belts anything rubber gets old and hardens over time. Just replace the hose and call it a day.
