Default One of my valve cover breather tubes is loose...

The tubes that lead from the valve cover to the plenum. One is loose at the valve cover and oil drips from that connection. I replaced this a few months ago.

Is there anything I can do to make it more secure? Tape it to the valve cover or something?

Thanks!

Mike

Default Its time for silicone kit!

then you can go to a catch can and don't worry about oil drippin'!
you can try duct taping it, the valve cover i mean and then just slide the tube over that so its tighter fit

Default Alright : )

The driver's side was a little tight so the tubing got a weak bend to it. However, it works just fine, over time the drivers side might be eligible for build up though so if something better comes my way ill replace it.

The passenger side worked out fine though.
