What is the drain hose by the starter and oil pan?

Postby Diesel » Mon Nov 21, 2011 10:09 am

There is a drain hose by the starter and oil pan that has steamy material coming out of it while running and leaves a small spot when parked. It is not attached to the fuel filter. What is that venting? PCV?

No there is barely anything coming out of it. Just a little steam at times but not much of anything.

I believe 156K on the truck. I am glad that hose isn't supposed to go to anything and is just PCV.
