Hello TST, I am looking for help diagnosing the oil leak issue with a family members car. There is a very small amount of oil coming out of the valve cover where there is a vacuum line attached to the air box. I will post pictures of the area.

Does anybody have any ideas on what to do & how to fix this?? It is a very slight leak, the car is never low on oil.

Thank you in advance!

Try putting a clamp over the hose.

Try putting a clamp over the hose.

May not be a bad idea, but when looking at photos of a stock 06 Stratus motor, there is no clamp over the hose in that area..

theres a grommit there that holds the hose in place. may be leaking around the grommit. just replace it. or try the hose clamp as mentioned up top but if its the Grommit than its not the hose so a clamp wont make a differance.
