Oil injector line cracked.. Quick Fix?

Hey guys,
It appears that one of my oil injector lines is cracked. I say appears because there is quite a bit of visable oil leakage on the bottom of the engine and one of the oil lines is wet about 2.5-3 inches up. Unfortunately i don't have the time to pull off the manifold to replace it. Is it possible to tape it up for the time being until i have some free time to replace it? Or would that be absolutely unsafe? Also if its not too unsafe, do any recommendations on what kind of tape to use?

Thanks in advance....

unscrew the banjo fromt he OMP, snip off the banjo that attaches to the OMP, snip the line about where its cracked and get a peice of silicone vaccuum line and slide it about 2 inched up onto the line from where you cut it. Put 2 to 3 zipties on that end and then attach the silicone vaccum line to the banjo and reattach the banjo to the OMP and boom ur fixed until you can afford or get time to fix it indefinately.....

Premix is adding oil to your gas so you dont have to rely on the OMP
