[Spridgets] Mystery Find

[Ken Rudolphy]

Jon and Bob.  THANK YOU!   Makes sense.  I had tried fitting the dipstick, and found the upper portion too large in diameter, so it's possible the prior owner jammed it into there once too often.

Spridget Nation rocks!  Unless someone has trade marked that already.

 That is the plastic tube your dip stick goes into. Those threads stick into the block and the dip stick goes in to it and holds it up.

Okay Spridget universe, I need to draw on your collective knowledge.
 
Dropped the oil pan on my "new" 1970 Midget.  The good, no metal.  The mystery is shown in the attached picture.  A plastic tube, approximately 3/8" OD, threaded on end laying in the bottom of the pan.
 
I'm quite familiar with these cars, but have never seen anything like this.  Any idea what this is?
