I've noticed a slight oil film on the outside of my CAC hose from the turbo charger. This film seems clean and does not have the dark sooty characteristics of engine oil. I slid back the mess that covers the hose and wipped it clean/dry. After approximately 100 miles the film has returned. Any one experienced this and are we heading for CAC hose failure due to rubber breakdown?

Contact oldnavy...he had the same problem and they had to replace the CAC ect.

I had the same issue with my '05 CRD. The pressure from the turbo made the oil from the CCV "bead sweat" on the CAC hose. It did not create a hose failure but I would rather have that oil bead sweat through the hose that into my intercooler. I installed a PROVENT 200 and it cleared up the bead sweat.
I was worried about some 20K miles of oil bead sweat that may weaken the hose so I replaced the hose as a preventative measure.

After Jeep replaced the CAC hoses (they had gotten real soft) I went with the EHM and had no further problems.
