The tube part of the assembly goes into the oil pan or block, I can't remember. There isn't going to be a lot of oil coming out of the hole, but you could see a little. I am sure that if you look, you can plug the tube back in to the hole.

Should just push right back in. I thought it was bolted on with one of the header bolts to keep it in place.
