1) can anyone tell me what this hose is
2) anyone else encounter some sort of oil in the footwell.
Thanks.
I think that hose connects to the amplifier, it is an air cooling hose. It comes from the black box beside the battery, inside the box is a small fan. It is the box with the RCM in it.
Oil in that area can migrate from a leaking engine oil level sensor up the sensor wire and into the car.
I am not too sure of the facts without refreshing my memory.
