Help Identifying this hose/plug

e92_josh · 12-31-2022, 08:39 AM

Hi, just posting to see if anyone can help identify this hose and plug for me.

As you can see I've got an oil filter housing leak that needs repairing, but I also noticed a lot of oil around this plug under the inlet manifold. It also feels a little loose.
The oil could be from the oil filter housing, but I just want to check the nature of the plug/hose.

What is this hose and plug for? Does it carry oil?

Heres some pictures:

Would help to know the exact engine and car model, looks like it's coming from the water pump?

Had a quick check on realoem but couldn't spot it

Vac line from the vac pump.

Legend! Thanks a lot 👍

I'll give it a good clean when I sort the gaskets out, doubt the oil is coming out of the vacuum hose so it'll be wet from the oil filter leak
