Small oil leak
I have a small oil leak drip coming from the pictured location. Any ideas to what this could be?
Thanks

I should mention it's on the front passenger side of the intake.

yep, pcv valve. it's not "technically" an oil leak as the oil is being sent back through the manifold to be burned off per emissions. More-so a vac leak. May need a new hose, may need a new PCV valve ($5), or you may just need to seal it off better.

That's the pcv valve right there? Though it was at the back drivers side.

If I decide to replace the whole hose assembly, does the intake or anything else need to be removed?

It's tricky, but you can replace the entire hose assembly without having to take anything apart first.

Pay close attention to how you get the old one out so you'll know how to weave the new one in.
