its not dripping and there isnt alot(maybe 2-4 times more than you pull out on your dipstick if even that) of oil in the intake tubing when i removed it but ive had the car since september 04 and the intake and hoses were new but now that hose is black. i have put on about 10-15,000 miles on it and the hose is already black. the reason it bothered me was if there is that small amount when the car isnt running then how much is running through when im driving at 75mph or even 90
