250 Oil breather hose leak - advice on replacement?

  1. Hey guys,

    I've had a strange smell coming through when the heater has been on, I guessed it might be oil, and I've possibly found the culprit.

    There's a definite leak form my oil breather hose from the engine to the airbox.

    Here's a video to show how loose the pipe is:

    And a photo for good measure:

    I'm guessing this should be tightly attached yes? There's nothing holding it in place, only the fact that the cable attached is resting on this direction. Should it have a jubilee clip or something attached to it too? The other side of the hose is also leaking, though I cleaned it before taking the photo.

    Does anyone know the correct size of this hose, and what I should be looking for as a replacement? Any links would be very much appreciated!

    It needs a couple of jubilee clips to secure it if the hose isn't damaged.
     
  3. Good call! Makes more sense than replacing it. The hose itself is fine other than it's not a tight fit anymore. I'll dig out some clips today and see if I can find one that fits properly.
