    this is the suspect hose. It is located behind the right fairing about the 5 o'clock position in relation to the oil view window. Is there any way to tighten this hose? What is it? The hose itself looks intact to the naked eye. I observed it running and couldn't really see any accumulation of new oil after I cleaned it. I'm wondering if it is just something to tighten down? I'm a little out of my element with it.

    This should be it in proper orientation.

    it looks like the right oil cooler hose. Can you tighten the braided hose connections?
