I hope you can salvage this. Just know that it could be worse! I am in the midst of a complete rebuild due to a prior owner substituting a straight nipple for that oil line adapter. Then, at some point, someone tried to stop the resulting leaking by cranking down ever harder on it. Having no external flange, the nipple kept threading into the case until it hit an internal web, at which point it cracked the case all around the fitting, and of course, still leaked. I just know that somewhere at some time there was a guy patting himself on the back for using $2 worth of Home Depot plumbing parts and saving the $30 he would have had to cough up for the Porsche adapter...
