hi guys i apologise for posting what im sure has been asked 1000's of times but the threads ive found still confuse me a bit. on the front of the rocker cover my breather hose (or is it an oil return??? still learning ) that runs to the plenum/intake manifold has collapsed at the plenum so is causing the join at the rocker cover to piss oil all over the top of the rocker cover, looks like **** and im sure it cant be good for the car? just after some advice with what to do, should i just replace the current hose (if so will any old rubber hose from SCA do or should i buy genuine (parts number??) or is it better to replace it with braided lines? any help or advice would be much appreciated, my mechanical knowledge is pretty limited. thanks in advance, Al Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It's just a breather hose that lets your engine breathe and lets out a small amount of oil. It then gets returned to your plenum to be burnt in the combustion chamber. I'm not sure if the genuine part is still available but any old hose will do.
