The oil filler tube has slipped off my engine (1980 air
cooled), spraying oil around the fan area.

Bently is not too clear on how to reconnect it, but I think
it is basically a slot with a bolt for tension (is this
right?). The slot at the end of the tube appears slightly
damaged, and that may complicate reconnecting it. What am I
better off doing?

1) Pulling the tube out entirely and stuffing a rag in there
until I can get a replacement part?

2) Reconnecting the filler tube and watching the gauges like
a hawk.

3) Not driving it at all and screwing up my weekend plans.

Any ETKA gurus have a part number?

Thanks,
Chris
