Alright so cleaned up the small leakage. We're talking about ~1 drop of oil when I used my hand to wipe under the clamp on the oil filler tube.
With it dry, I wanted to confirm the leak is from the clamp area. I went for a 10 minute drive. Came back, put my hand on the underside of the oil filler tube clamp....all dry. Next few days, still all dry.
Then today, I went for a longer drive, revving up to redline a few times. Afterwards I did the same test (felt the underside of the clamp). However, this time it was...damp. Not enough oil to form a drop. Maybe only 1/4 of a drop. No CELs. Some mechanics told me I would get a CEL if there was a leak on that tube because of the loss of pressure. I'll talk to my local indy mechanic eventually.
On another topic. I noticed two hoses was fusing into each other. See pics below, pics are taken after I separated the two hoses from touching. What are these hoses? Check out that indention on the bigger hose. Anyone experience this before? Is this a real concern?
