i'm not quite sure what you mean by oil pipe but you can have one made by various different car companies. I just replaced a few different lines and hoses in my engine with stainless steel reinforced lines from summit racing. It wasn't that expensive really, plus it gives the engine a nice little look to it as well.

i think he means the oil filler pipe.

i think you possibly could get away with one of those universal oil filler caps that "pop" into the valve cover hole on a boinger... might be able to push one in to the hole in the center housing. Would have to drill a hole in the top and epoxy a vacuum barb (cut one off of a tee) so you have something to plug the vacuum hose into. You *did* have a working PCV system, right? (The tubes usually rust out because of the condensation that forms there when the PCV system isn't working)

Of course, then it would be a pain to add oil, you'd need a funnel unless you're a total expert at pouring oil.

or... you could just see if there's one at a junkyard that you could scavenge.
