well, i dont remember this happening before... and it looks like this line is a vent for fresh air to the oil filler kneck (maybe im remembering incorrectly). anyway, i just did an oil change while the car is down for some other repairs... anyway, after the oil change fresh oil started dripping out of this vacuum tube (which i dont remember it doing before). anyway, just wanted to make sure that this was caused by some oil getting down the vent tube, and not something more serious. here's a pic

Some oil there is normal. That is the secondary PCV vent.

Yep there is also a restricter pill inside that line to control the amount of oil/air that passes through it. I found that out the hard way. Memo to everyone.....NEVER use the microwave to heat up these kinds of lines w/restricter pills in them. They will blow up and make your house stink.

In case your wondering why I did such a thing, I was replacing the plastic inlet elbow of the primary turbo(which had a broken nipple). I couldn't get the old line to slide on the nipple because it was very stiff. So I decided to place the line in the microwave and heat it up (hopefully making it softer). Well the line exploded in the section where the restricter pill was located. LOL


Anyone got the part number for the line? I have the parts manuel on my disk but can't find this particular line.
