Have a 97 4runner. I noticed some oil dripping onto the trans guard when I removed it while changing oil this weekend. The truck has 102,000 miles on it. I traced this, i believe, back to a hose attached to the driver side inner fender well. It seemed to be connected to the crack case with the other end of the hose having a metal cap on it - vent?

Should I be worried about this... have never seen this happen prior. Have also checked the PCV and was fine ( the valve is freely to open and close ). The engine oil level is always on full - upper dot.

TIA,
George
