Funny that the Oil Breather Hose should be discussed today.
I was inspecting my LIV engine last night and found my hose from the Case to
the Breather Can to be absolutely coated with slimy oil--not a drop anywhere
else, including the engine.
I had used Auto Heater Hose, I believe, and the service time has been 5 years.
Upon inspection, we found that the engine oil had indeed permeated the walls,
and had weeped out the entire surface for the full length.
My A&P, who was helping me bleed my brakes at the time, suggested Stratoflex
-12 hose, which I will get today.
Heater hose is probably OK, but plan on inspecting it and replacing it before
a 5 year service time.
Incidently, Heater Hose is unacceptable for use between the Breather Can
and the Exhaust Pipe on the LIV. A high-temp service hose must be used.
