After changing oil and filter I have oil dripping out of a small black hose under the dipstick area. I used 3 was with a new filter.
Dipstick shows a good level. What is this hose used for and what would cause this?
What should I do?
Thank you

Welcome to the forum. Are you talking about the line that goes to the oil cooler?

Look at this diagram.

No it is a small black hose less then 12 inches that is open on one end (laying on skid plate ) and the other end is attached to the crank case directly under the oil dipstick fill tube.

So looking at the top right view, it's below item 6 (3 screws)?

Yes I think it is the crank case vent tube.

Looks like crank case vent tube is leaking the oil. Even just sitting overnight

 

[bajadog]

It did not leak before the oil change?

 

[Wcpender]

No

Sounds like it was overfilled with oil. Should have only needed like 2.25 quarts or so. Don't forget to push the dipstick all the way down when measuring oil volume.

Huh,the only hose I recall seeing there was from the water pump.
