Yeah, its a pain in the a$$. You have to make sure you seat it in correctly or else you will have some oil leakage, not much, but it will leak. The bolt to thread it in to is somewhere above the two spark plugs in the middle I beleive. Some one correct me if im wrong.

yeah its between the 2nd and 3rd header, and once you get the tube in just push the bracket against the engine and you should find the hole easily.
