Now I'm spending more and more time under the bonnet I notice more and more...

Today I saw a very slight split in the "flexible air intake duct" under the "breather valve" (aka "depression limiting valve" or simply "TOP") - phew! The pictures should help.

The split is about 1cm long and looks like its been there a while.

Can I forget about it, can I patch it or is it a replacement job?

Lastly, should I be concerned about the oiliness around that pipe?

Thanks

Better get the wallet out then!

Any idea what the cause of the oil might be?
(its mostly air and coolant pipes around there isn't it?)

I've been told that the oil is probablyy due to the 'TOP' (depression valve) oozing oil.
I have identified that as part number LLN100140L.

Can anyone tell me the part number for the hose with the split?
