Yes, I believe this is just "basement hose." Meaning, it's a no-name, no-rating type black hose that you find in an old box of auto parts in your basement.

Uhhhhh, maybe. I guess what happens is that the rubber becomes saturated with oil, and then maybe the temperature drops, the rubber contracts, thus forcing small droplets of oil out to the surface.

'Basement hose'-this is right up there with your advocacy of screen-door spring for a clutch return for some poor guy....
And I ain't touchin' (pun intended) olddog's advice about genital hygiene...
