found small pool of oil around top of my engine last night......

so I proceeded to rip everything off to see whats happened, what I found was one of the two clear tubes that go to the same location as the two vacume tubes on top of the engine ( see pic) was broken and I think this has been spewing out oil from here.
OK, so does anyone know what kind of damage this will cause to my engine? I can pretty much confirm that I have only driven my FD a couple of times in this condition.

those are the omp feed lines. the car is not getting any oil injection like that. you need to replace them asap. gotham sells braided lines if u like. do both though

other option is to eliminate your omp, plug the lines, and run premix. either way fix now!
