it is your OMP line, it is used for lubricating the apex and side seals. you can find some stainless steel replacements around or you can repair them yourself with a DIY i saw on the forum a while back. at any rate the search function should get you the info you need to getting them replaced.

Ahhh, yeah that would be yoru OMP(oil metering pump) line. You have several options which have been covered before as far as replacement or removal of teh system to run premix

yup, you also have the choice to omit the system and run premix in your gas tank for lubrication, in my opinion, is better/safer anyways.
