What a little bastard, spewing oil up on my nice new hood pad.

How hard is this bastard going to be?

It's the breather tube that comes off the lower passenger side of the filler neck.

Not too bad.
You'll need to pull the water bridge to get to it.

Has the water bridge seals, and oil filler neck seals been serviced before?

Very colorful selection of language. This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Costanza hangs out with a bunch of Texans that use the words "bastard" and "son of a bitch" all the time.

use hondabond 4 to reseal the filler tube gasket,
your car will have a metal plate with and O ring in it,
be generous with the HB on both sides of the plate.
no more leaks till you take the filler tube off.
NOTE 928 INTL makes a block off plate to also fit under the fill tube,
you might consider fitting one,
this will reduce the oil splash the bottom of the fill tube has to deal with

No, not to my knowledge.

Too bad I just had the coolant drained last week when I replaced the heater valve and rad hoses.

You can either pull the water bridge or pull the intake tubes, either will give you access. If it is just the hose that is broken you MAY be able to get a long flat screwdriver in between the intake tubes and loosen the clamp but it will be tough.

It's squirting up enough out of there to hit your hood pad??!! That is not a passage way where the oil is under pressure from the pump, it vents the crankcase.

I see an intake refresh in your future.

Adamant1971

I don't think its squirting up all the time, probably when I stand on the throttle.

But it's enough to be a drag on my new liner.

And yes an intake re-fresh is now top priority. I'm going to try and get a new hose on there with a spring clamp, just for Hell. Then I will get the intake re-fresh going.

Cosmo Kramer

I have pulled my intake so many times I can do it in my sleep. I can have it off in 1/2 hr! Gaskets are cheap for 85's too, only like 13 bucks for both sides.

There are two hoses that connect to the filler neck and based on the pic it looks like it is the forward one that is leaking. It connects to the passenger side cam cover. If you can get that connection off the filler neck you can pull out and replace the whole hose, using a spring clamp on the one buried in the intake like you said. If it is the rearward hose it connects to the throttle body and the intake or water bridge will have to be removed to service it.

Adamant1971

Hey Ted, do you recall what size of hose this is, I'm pretty sure it's the forward hose, on the passenger side of the filler neck. Just going to go out at lunch to be hoses and clamps.

Cosmo Kramer

I believe it is 7/16". Don't get heater hose make sure it is for crank ventilation. Partsource or Napa should have it.

Adamant1971

Well thanks to the search feature and another shark owner I was able to find pics of the intake and the bad hose I have.

Heading camping tomorrow with my family, so hopefully Sunday night I will tear into it.

I'm probably just going to go ahead and order some intake, water bridge and oil filler seals in case I end up taking things off. I just want to get a temp fix for Hell. Once back I plan on doing the full intake re-fresh.

Cosmo thinks the hose is 7/16, and I tried everywhere with no luck, no luck on spring hose clamps either. I did find breather hose in 15/32 which is just a hair larger, .46" vs .44".

Very common on 85/6.
