    I just want to share this photos because is causing oil fumes leaks under the hood and leaking in the cab; ,;this 2 flex tubes don't last long, I replaced mine twice already, break exactly in the flexible zone; first one from top cover to oil separator and the oil fill tube , second photo;
    just a heads up, check it, easy job to replace it yourself;
    All the best!

    We have also had bad luck with the brittle plastic pieces that come out of the coolant reservoir tank. Volvo with ISX have a little line going to thermostat and when it breaks, the cooling system looses all coolant. Its not like you can get that hose anywhere either. Volvo Part Only.

    most of these breather lines break when techs work on the truck are to lazy to remove one extra bolt so you can remove whole assembly without bending it because as soon as you bend the flex it'll break
