[Healeys] Oil pressure pipe

It does not matter.
For a more detailed answer: The air will compress & since there is no where for either the air or the oil to escape, the pressure will be the same everywhere in the line including at the gage.

The flexible pipe which comes out of the block on the RHS, under the carbs, and is the beginning of the pipework to the oil pressure gauge..............
I think that mine is seeping a leetle tiny seep where it comes out of the block. Nothing that matters, but it won’t get any better.
So, my guess is that there’s a dodgy washer in there somewhere. Now, if I take it all apart, air will get in to the pipe???
Does that matter?
If it does matter, what’s the cure?....Run the engine and loosen off the connection at the back of the gauge??
