I would try to find a Viton O ring that is similar and replace it! I've tried to find this part going thru tech at dealer and they just shook their heads. I used this piece on my catch can hose and some day I may have same issue as you. As long as it still locks into place, try to replace the Oring. Good luck.
That hose and clamp are not stock the clip is not the issue the junk hose and incorrect clamp is. Use proper oil rated hose with a proper clamp and your issue well go away.
Thanks guys. Couldn't find any defects with the plastic clip (which I originally thought might be the issue) or the tubing. My guess is the clamp was trash and it was leaking from there, as mentioned previously by brokedownbutgood.
Researched ear clamps, and the viton o rings. Got a kit of each, clamped the connections down really well and put new o ring on. Plastic clip fits much more firmly into the motor, and the ear clamps I used seem like very solid connections.
Appreciate all the input, I think my issue is resolved with those two replacements, but will know for sure over next few days of driving.
Question is, where did you find the new ear clamps?? Is the kit you're referring to come with the piece for the hose with O ring groove and the male receiver piece that mounts in the manifold? Would like to have this info for down the road. I would have thought that a good Oring would be all that is needed?? Thanks for the update!
