Oil eats some rubbers. I use liquid hand soap. Tyre soap would be a
better idea.

Now you mention it... that would have been a good idea, but I do recall
using Fairy Liquid in the past for tricky hoses.

One would think that, but having seen so many soggy breather pipes etc on
SO cars and the LE I just dont trust it. I just treat all rubber bits
