[V8] oil leak

[Jeremy Ward]

It could also be the Dave-to-Shawn...  I mean head-to-head breather
hose; also prone to failure.  I just ordered this and also the hose
mentioned by Kneale (below) from Scott Mockry.

Here are the P/Ns and prices:
077 103 221 - Breather Hose $47.50 special order (h to h)
077 103 221 B - Breather Hose $18.50 special order (cc to h)

Hope it's not the RMS (although at 88k, I doubt that is)...  Involves a
tranny R&R (11 hrs) and a $125 plate w/ pressed seal (077 103 171G).
Others have just bought the seal and reused the plate for a small
fraction of the cost, but I didn't feel like gambling 11hrs@$75 ;-)

HTH,

- Jeremy

Could be the crankcase-to-driver side head breather hose too.    The
crankcase breather system leads from the crankcase to the driver side
head
to the passenger side head to the front (I forget what the small hose on
the front links).
