T-Case Vent Hose Loose

[FL335i]

Thought I would share.  Tonight while doing some investigation about relocating the transmission and T-case vent hoses up to the brake booster area, I realized the vent hose that connects to the T-case is kind of wet looking.  Long story short, the hose took zero effort to remove from the T-case nipple.  I cleaned everything up and put a hose clamp on it.  Nice and snug now.  I guess with age and mileage the hoses get hard.  I checked the diffs and transmission, all snug.  it's a 5/16" hose, maybe the nipple is metric.  Maybe the hose is just old.  It's fixed for now though.  Do not need dirt, debris or water getting into the T case. I just changed the fluid in it the other day.   Reminder to check your vent hoses.
