Where's it attach?

That "fluid" is oil from a leaky engine seal.

[QUOTE=Kneale Brownson;24031624]Where's it attach?

to the 90 deg plastic tube on the side of the battery. see the pic in the diagram on here. it just goes through the floor through a hole.

No, No, where does its loose end attach???? I know the inboard end goes to the battery, which has to be a battery equipped with a vent opening. I need to know where the hanging end goes so that it is vented to the outside atmosphere as intended without hanging where it could become crimped or something.

they usually stick out only a few inches. check to see if it came off the battery and slipped through the hole further. probably needs to be pulled back up in.
