Default Vauxhall Corsa's

I know its not the right place to talk about the above but my girlfriends 1.0 3 cyl job is leaking oil from a large pipe at the front of the engine? The pipe looks like it is just squeezed together but Im not sure how, I have tried clamping it to get a better connection but it's still leaking

Is this a common prob and how can I fix do I need a special tool?
Thanks

Can't picture it in my head but i'm guessing it's just a breather pipe that runs from the cam cover to the crank case? inwhich case it sounds like the pipe is probably blocked and sucked itself in kinda thing, take the pipe off and clean it out, if it doesn't return to shape then replace it.

Shouldn't need special tools as such although the hos clips will be tricky unless you have some grips/pliars handy.
