OK, interesting.

When I was mucking around with this yesterday, I tried poking a piece of wire hanger down the tube. At first it only went in about 3"... I kept poking and eventually got it about 6" down... but still not to the oil in the sump. I found a piece of nylon tubing (about 1/4" OD), and slid that down the return pipe, and it went straight to the oil in the sump... maybe 7-8" down, with little resistance.

When I first started poking with the wire, I thought the tube might be blocked... but the wire may just have been hitting the side of the pipe and getting stuck, I'm not sure.
