Picture would help us.

Cant do anything picture wise till i get off of work

If the plastic tube was on the belt side then that is called a coolant elbow, it needs to be repalced while doing this job.
04-01-2013
No this was acually under the lower intake looked to possibly got to the hole for the egr or pcv probably 3/8 in diameter and clipped to the center of the lower intake gasket, I replaced the coolant elbows with the alluminium ones and ut a new tensioner on aswell

im wrong its on the upper intake gasket
04-01-2013
You are correct. It goes inside the plenum on top of the gasket. It has 2 clips that hold it in place.

It's to keep the oil that does come throught he PCM from dropping at one end of the LIM.
04-02-2013
I was not aware that oil went thru the PCM?
04-02-2013
Would you believe PCV? LOL
04-02-2013
Thats more believable, I knew what you ment, so I guess I gotta put that back on then
04-02-2013
This guy, right?
I found mine cleaning up after doing my LIM this weekend... guess I'll put mine on too ...
04-02-2013
That would be the one!!
04-02-2013
Yup.. in reality there's no downfall from it not being in the motor. I wouldn't rush to put it back if it were mine.
04-02-2013
Just wondering where does all that oil go? I only see 1 return on the drivers side, doesnt make much sense to me
04-02-2013
There is no return.You know how you had to soak up the oil to see the "hidden bolts" inside the LIM? Yeah..that's what you soaked up.
04-02-2013
thats some bs, why wouldnt they do that?
04-02-2013
Because..that's an intake tract...if you open that to the crankcase you cause issues.
04-02-2013
so just let oil lay in there that makes alot of sense
04-02-2013
Doesn't hurt anything. Didn't seem to be hurting anything when you soaked it up to pull the bolts..right?
