I was recently snooping around my engine bay to find the source of a hissing sound at higher rpms. I looked behind the drivers side and felt some hoses for snugness. They where all good, but then I found one that wasn't attached to anything. Before connecting it to where I think it goes, I wanted to see what it was for and if it really goes there. Thanks in advance.

You've circled the bleed screw for the clutch slave cyl. so no hose is suppose to attach to it!

The line you have there looks fine - the circled nipple on the right is a bleeder valve.. It needs no hose.

If i missed what you were asking for - let me know, its hard to tell in that pic.

uhhh theres a question mark on your oil filter! howd that get there!


looks like you were trying to point out the hose under the fuel lines.

I apologize for misspelling go, I just want to fix this problem. I usually follow my instinct, but this time It looks like the hose is too long to go where I thought it should and there is a threaded place in the engine where it could reach. The only problem is that there is nothing threaded into where it should be and it is in a really hard to get to spot (see picture)

Please help.

So its good that I asked. The hose was just laying there connected to nothing. I cant really see anything besides the picture above that it could attach to. Would another picture help that would show the exact position of the hose?

The circle to the upper right is a bleeder valve for your clutch slave. No hose need, like the others said.

This is the hose, I need to find out where it goes. Sorry about the confusion.

that threaded hole in the engine is not for that. Is that hose coming from the firewall? Is that supposed to be to your brake booster?

it goes to the charcoal canister on the far left back of the engine. its not serious. you can put it back on.

The hose originated from the charcoal canister, I need to know where the other end attaches to.

0verb00st

It is already attached to the canister, the other end (drivers side of the car) isn't attached to anything. I want to reconnect it to its origin.

i think the end you have in your hand goes to the purge control valve or under the oil pedestal.

...and by oil pedestal i might mean oil filler thingy. hell i dont know what to call it

The end that you have goes under the fuel lines to the oil filler tube at the rear, very hard to get to and see otherwise I would post a pic. You may have to take some time to take things apart to reatach it.

So its this oil filler tube, but I have to put it on a different location on the tube?

Ok, I found where it goes, thanks for the help guys. Unfortunately I cant get to it, mainly because of the oil filter. I will change my oil this weekend anyways, but is it bad for my engine to drive it until then?

No, like it was stated, not a big deal. Your car might smell a little gassy, but it's not going to blow up.

its around the oil filter?

im having the exact same problem with my 88 n/a vert.

i looked everywhere but i could not really see anything that looked like it was not connected properly, i'll have a look at it tomorrow though to see if i can see anything.

Ya its in that area, you have to really look for it (its probably coverd with grime) and once you find it I would recomend using a needle nosed pliers or wrench to shimy it on there.
