My MS 211 weeps oil - likely out of the point at which the oil hose exits the tank. Not prodigiously, but enough that it leaves an annoying slick anywhere it is left long enough. I have read about people using gasket sealer around the hose grommet - has anyone here tried that, or should I just replace the hose? Any pro tips for getting that sucker out without too much dismantlement? Thanks!
