Ok so got the bike all back together after a good 6 months apart put the oil in and let it sit for a day now there is a little oil coming out the lower hose between the rubber bushing and the tank! Well will this seal being everything was dry or should i drain it and apply some rv sealant or something?

the oil bags rubber bushings have hardened and should be replaced. The local lawnmower repair shops have these, they are used with gas tanks. use some heat on the bushing and it will soften up so the barb will come out very easily. new bushings hold the oil in just fine. Might as well do them all.

I’m sorry I have no idea of the PN. I handed him the old one and he asked for some cash.

It was a Toro lawnmower sales and repair shop, the guy knew exactly what it was.

no problem there. Just a hint here few ya. It pays to glue them in place. I used a superglue from a hobby shop. More of a Gel type with a 30 minute set time. worked wonders.
