I stole this pic from someones website who uses these forums.. forget who.. not important tho. Anyway.. in the picture you can see part of the engine. There is a thin metal tube running just in front of the engine, but still attached. Notice the rubber boot on it? Mine is cracked, and it seems as though something is leaking VERY slowly out of it.. any ideas?

*edit- my chilton manual makes no mention of what this maybe.

It is a crankcase vent line. Your leaking oil. You can use some rubber hose from your local autoparts store to replce it.
