I had a oil leak I thought it was coming from the distributor. I changed the gaskets and o-rings but still it is leaking. But there's a hose underneath distributor area and it seems really really soft and that always seems to have oil on it. I don't know what that hose is called but I want to change it.I need to know what it's called or what area is hooked up to exactly. Please advise.

Okay Danny, let me get back to you because it's in a tight space, in the engine compartment and it's behind the distributor and plug wires and from underneath it has the transmission frame and some other a frame with the oil pan hiding everything. So to get a pic without message up or dropping my iPhone is going to be fun because trying to get a picture of the beginning of the hose to where it ends well I'll try but I can take a pic of the center of the hose but I know that won't help the hose is about 1 3/4 - 2" wide I think but no bigger than that. But I will do me best and I'll get back to you. Thanks for responding back to me.
