I can hear the leak is around the AOS. I may do a smoke test. Thanks!
Tim, perhaps you may want to check (/replace..?) as well the accordion tube that connects the AOS with the engine block as this plastic gets brittle with age.

A new AOS will come with one.

Jager, I was talking about the long accordion hose that goes from the AOS to the block just behind the driver (4-6 bank).

When I replaced the AOS on my 987CS I had to buy the accordion hose as I damaged mine..

Is that right? Never heard of it... never seen it. From where? I replaced my AOS a couple years ago... Pelican... and it came with no hose (the updated hose). I had to purchase that separately... another ~$35.

Link? Proof? Thanks.

They used to... The AOS came with the accordion shaped hose.

I have not replaced an AOS in the last 4 years so things must have changes. Does not surprise me, the parts suppliers look for more ways to gouge us.

I see my confusion. I thought you were referring to the hose/tube that connects the top of the AOS to the intake... and I was wondering what you meant by "included". Then I saw your post and realized you were talking about that hose at the bottom of the AOS... yes, the accordian. That and the clamp seperately I purchased. Fromn Pelican.

That top tube I had to replace because the AOS had been redesigned since the original. That tube cost me ~$35. I had a fix in place (the original tube with a section cut out and a piece of hose clamping the two pieces together). My OCD took over and I couldn't stand that ugly part snaking across the top of the motor.
