ok so I've seen no oil level drop..if any it's been too small to notice. I pop my hood and there is some oil, almost always on the intake manifold. I cant figure which hose is leaking but my consern is that I can't just get a new hose or anything like that. The two dirty hoses are the one attached to the intake mani and the one directly to the right ( i know a pic would help. I'll get one later), but anyone come across this before? It's not like its pouring out, but I'm wondering what cost would be to replace some hoses and who would do it cheap?

yes pretty much... same hose and looks dark by the clamp

i'm sure when you take the hose off you'll be able to see a small tear/hole in it. move the coolant tank out of the way to make the job easier.

in other words should I buy the hose and just have a shop do it so I don't make the leak worse? Thanks for the help

its not an oil line...its a vac/air line...the oil comes from intake air (the PCV system).

You can do the whole job yourself in 15minutes and $10. just go to the parts counter at a dealership and pick them up.
