The car 1968 Lotus Seven with a 145hp 1600cc dry sumped xflow.

Oil is dripping after blats, it comes from the 5 port dry sump pump, apparently it comes where the metal tube(scavenges oil from the sump) is attached to the pump housing.

The metal tube feels loose but how do a tighten it? There is no nut and I cant see how it is fixed to the housing.

Thanks for the replys.

I'll do the quickfix with expoy now to fix the pain.
Removing the pumt is a engine out operations, so I'll find find a more durable solution this winter when the engine is out anyway for maintanence.

Thanks
