Yep, couldn't stand it and went out and picked up a couple hose clamps, took EVERYTHING apart again and fixed the hose, I THINK (didn't see it go in but am guessing) I dumped some coolant into the intake so I'm guessing I'll have a fouled plug next....

We did the same thing Sat morning, but went a bit further as we have other work to do in addition to the AOS replacement.

Yea it does! Wow. I took your advice and made sure the hoses and clamps were TIGHT and on perfectly. Should be no leak. Tomorrow I'll finish up and hopefully all will be well.

Like a hooker on a cold night.
I'm kinda pissed I left it like this (first photo) but I was able to get the pads done without a fuss. (Excluding the brake wear sensors, PITA)
On a lighter note, I took my Grandfathers wine making jugs that I got from my mom last week and filled them with corks taken from where my wife works..... Cycle of life I guess. I never met my grandfather but he made wine in Latvia, Sweden and Canada. He died when my mom was 15.... His journey in life was certainly one to admire.

I know when I started it up yesterday before knowing about the little leak....It sounded smoother and seemed to rev better without all that oil going into the intakes!

OK I've got a problem. I was going to spend an hour putting this back together today, but I found a vacuum line that appears broken.
It's connected to a "X" connection(blue arrow), one line leads to a rubber sleeve connecting the the plenum to the intake. (light blue arrows)
One connection leads to a control valve that then goes to the resonance tube (the tube behind the plenum) (magenta arrows)
Mystery connection, it's not connected at the "X" I'm assuming I pulled it off of somewhere. (Yellow arrow)
And a broken vent line that I can't find a mate to. (green arrow)
Please help!

Done. It runs great and no leaks. The best part is that I can take off my oil cap while idling again! Couldn't do that last week. 
I'll try to put together a fairly concise description of how I did it. Maybe the next guy that has to do this can actually use it.
