Need some quick info, on my way home towing my 5er, I stopped to at a rest area and noticed that the entire drivers side of the truck was coated with oil. I checked under the hood and no visible leaks. Checked the P/S fluid and oil, all seemed to be full.
Then I noticed that the breather hose under the front drivers side fender was the problem. WHAT IS THAT HOSE FOR ? and why would it spray oil out of it. I am very concerned and I am not sure if I should drive it to work tommorow. :eek:

I believe the hose you are talking about is the breather hose for your front differential. If you follow the hose down it will lead you to the top of the differential. I also had this leak a couple of weaks ago and the dealer replaced the vent on the end of the tube...not sure what caused the leak though...
