Oil leak help

Post by JINETE »

Very good Señori@s, observed that underneath the car is a stain give oil. I checked it out and it looks like it's coming out of a black silicone tube. What could it be? MY VIN is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] thank you.

That black hose looks strange to me, with a roughly cut end. Maybe it is not original, but has been added by some mechanic as a modification to the crank case breather system? Can you see the other end of it?

Could that hose be a coolant overflow tube, and there is oil in the coolant? Hopefully not. Easy to check.
There are usually no oil-bearing/breather tubes that drip to road, as that is usually kept within the system.

He didn't create that to be the coolant, because it only comes out of it black tube and is falling down the part of the tray that is the condenser dél radiator and part del floor anyway then tea I give more details. Thank you

If it is the air conditioning drain tube, it should only be dripping water, not oil.

Look if you can see now something seems to be going for the dél filter part but beyond I can't see more because of the wiring that passes through there

I created what runs out give the silicone tubes, probably through the area of the oil filter drip when I'm on the go maybe they changed me oil and filter and gives me what they didn't fix it oil filter well
