What is wrong if your 1988 Honda Accord LXi is getting oil coming out of the hose from the valve cover into the breather in the air filter?

Most likely the engine is worn out. Combustion gasses will leak past worn piston rings ( blow-by) into the crankcase. The hose is the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) hose and is designed to vent a certain amount of these gasses back through the engine. Sounds like there's just too much leakage for the system to handle now.
AnswerA small amount of oil leaking back up the tube isn't abnormal, but if you have a considerable amount, make sure the PVC valve and hose are completely clear and working properly.Wiki User

Why is there oil in air box on mercury topaz 2.3 liter?
The oil is coming from the breather tube that comes from the valve cover. There is supposed to be a filter that will block this, but alas, they sometimes do not work to well. One way to stop this, if it is a big problem would be to put a little batch of steel wool in the breather line at the air box side. This might help. Or, replace the original line and filter. As long as there is not too much oil getting in there, the car will still run fine.

What is the hose coming out of the top of the passenger side valve cover - opposite side from the PCV valve - leading to the air intake line on Chev 5 liter V8?
These are breather tubes. On older models there is usually a breather filter in its place. On newer cars the engineers removed this filter by placing a hose connected to the air duct. (Since this air is already filtered)
