Murphy's Law is all over me today. Getting car ready for trip on Friday...

Pulled plastic housing off front of motor to wipe dripped oil. Gently moved lines in attached photos while doing so. The brown line snapped as it is very brittle - found out the hard way. The white line cracked, too (looks like a vacuum line).

I have no idea what the lines/hoses are or what components are now without their support. I hope someone can identify them for me. Lines are indicated by sloppy blue arrows.

If so, are they DIY? It looks like the brown line would be fairly easy and the white, another story. Would I be able to put a rubber section in the white line? If they are DIY, I will give Phil a call today. If not, can I drive it to the indy?

Thanks,

Chris
