ok  kids, get ready for this.
When I looked  at the engine   in my garage,   it's dark in there...this
complex  is dark enough that I couldn't see the big fat hose with a big at RIP
in it right in front of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it was the rebreather   hose  spraying oil all over the place!
soooooooo a quick trip to AG Auto, my usual  repair shop-the best in SoCal,
fixed it right up with a nice fancy braided  hose so it wont fall apart again!
:-}
thanks for everyone's help in my panic  attack!! heheheh i feel stupid
now...jeesh...
