The tube is loose can pick the top portion out looks like it was soldered in place at one time also loose by the compresion fitting,Sorry i can't be more spcific but doesn'nt seen rite any suggestion. Should that tube be replaced and whats it called? Thanks Bob

It sounds like you are talking about the rocker oil connector.
The overflow tube should be soldered in place. I sometimes use a wire tie to hold one that has broken loose in place.

I think the tube was one piece with the side cutaway inside the connector. Here is a PIC.
