They tend to crack and will leak oil on top of the engine when:
a) you put oil into the engine through the rear trunk's oil fill
b) you generate enough revs and motion in the car so that oil creeps up the tube
Happy Boxstering,

Pedro, my hose is leaking at the spring clamp. Could it be not enough clamping pressure on the hose, if so would a new clamp do it? If not, how difficult is it to raplace the filler hose? Thanks.

I was able to do my AOS because there are a lot of wonderfull DIY guides, however for Oil tube I couldn't find any guides
I think for this one I'll let a mechanic do it
