oil leak/hose question

Forgive my ignorance, but I have noticed that oil has been leaking from the top half of the engine on my 1987 T & C wagon. Is there a gasket that I should conside replacing?

Also, I noticed a hose about 6 or 7 inches long that runs from the engine to the air filter 'assembly'. Could someone tell me the name of the hose and whether or not it could be contributing to the oil leak problem?

Thanks.

John

I would have to guess that you have the 3.3 liter engine and the hose you are probably referring to is the breather hose for the air cleaner. without looking at the oil leak I will say the most common thing to leak on that engine is the valve cover gasket. Always state as much information as possible when you are asking questions.....such as the engine!!

Thanks. The engine has a 4 cylinders. According to the manual it would be either be 2.2 or 2.5 liters. I'm not sure which. Should I assume a worn/defective valve cover gasket is still the most likely prolem?

that would be the same hose and the gasket and end seals leak alot on those, if im not mistaken I believe there may have been a recall on that year for the valve cover
