Anyone on location of 3rd hose and best place to look to see if it has a hole in it?

Ok, after I have driven my X for a few days since I replaced the two upper hoses, I still get the same stumble I had before.

So IDK what my next move is. I dont think replacing the hose that takes the oil and directs it back to the crank case has anything to do with the misfire at 1500-ish RPM. I still need to fix it, but my biggest concern is to get it running right. Any other input from anyone?

The third hose can not be seen unless you start taking the firewall apart. .it is attached to the bottom of the oil separator.. I you can get your hands on a flexible boroscope tool it can be viewed...Or keep in mind if there is not an oil leak near the right rear of engine, this hose is probably OK.
The dealer was able to get all three hoses.

If not replaced they will lean out your fuel mixture, thus gas mileage out the window and generate fault codes "Bank1 and Bank2 too lean"....or MAS fault
For some reason these hoses can`t take the heat and oil, they get all gummy and collaspe or rip apart. They are not expensive, but the short hose, Hummm is a bear to change, the Fire wall must be lifted to get to it. And if you notice a hint of blue smoke at the exhaust, replacing the oil separator would be a good idea.
Hope this helps..
Hey Negritoamni!!!
you dan'm right! this is very common issue to these hoses area to get messed-up. I've been having the same lean issue to on the same car 4.4 M62 engine, but everytime I checked these hoses they all appear to be in great shape, like they may have been replaced not too long ago by the previous owner.
But today, I was decided to inspect a little bit farther: Meaning I checked the two that comes from the oil separator to the other end. And that's when I finally discovered a( line cut-off ) under the clamps from one of these hoses.
Well once I did not have a new hose to replace, I just removed the top hose where the clamp were sitting by cutting a little bit of and push the hose back where it belong. Well, service engine light usually come back every: 3 to 6 miles but I drove nearly 10 miles now and I haven't seen anything yet! so far, so good!!!
