GTV 6 oil pump hose

[Nash Bap <nashbap@domain.elided>]

 That hose connects to the oil vapor separator located next to the distributor. If you remove the valve cover you may notice a small plastic piece that holds the hose next to the front of the head. Mine disintegrated a long while ago.

Earlier in July the following question was posted:

"I dropped by the dissection of a 2.5L V6 at Kollmann's tonight, and noticed
something new to me."

"Can anyone tell me (us) what the approx. 8mm I.D. U-shaped tube is, that is
wrapped around the oil pump pickup in the sump? The bottom of the U points
toward the rear, one end appears to be pinched almost shut and the other
had a short, apparently broken, length of rubber tube held on by a normal
Alfa hose clamp---not the sort of thing I'd expect Alfa to put in a sump.
Is it an oil return from somewhere above that has been cut or broken, and
the rest of the tube thrashed to rubber dust by the spinning
machinery? Maybe something from the oil separator?"



I was wondering the same thing. On mine the rubber hose is about 24 inches 
or so long that is attached to the U-shaped metal tube .

There didn't appear to be any replies on the forum ( maybe I missed them).
