Anyone know anything about cars?

Help! Some hose is leaking something all over the top of my Ford V6 scubamobile. Looking for answers on google is not proving fruitful because I don't know what any of those hoses are called or for. Anyone know?

That looks like some sort of coolant hose on the left where the leak appears to be.

What does the fluid smell like? Color?
Type of vehicle?
Does look like coolant lines, but i'm only on my phone and its tough to tell for sure.

Looks like a coolant line

Looks like your PCV tube.... It's an air line that keeps the oil system pressurized. a slight bit of oil vapor goes through this line but it's a frequant problem.

Can ya put a clamp on it or is that even necessary? Other option is cash for clunkers. Let the gubmint buy ya a new vehicle!

Which hose in pic ?

How much is it leaking ?
... It looks like a bit of seepage that's just enough to show up

Any color to leaking fluid ?

In the pic those all look like they may only be vapor hoses and not a car crippling problem

I second Racedude, PCV line.

I put an air/water separator on my trucks PCV tube years ago just as a test to see how much oil goes through mine (I put a supercharger on my 1999 Silverado) and I dump about 1/4" of oil out of it when I change the oil.

1/4 cup ... not much oil considering the increased blowby caused by supercharging
