Was it originally a turbo? Turbo oil feed?
Must have piccys!
Can't think what you mean as the oil filter has nothing that can be screwed into, being a spin off cartridge.
Is there any possibility you mean oil filler? As this has a rubber tube which is routed to the intake manifold.

its where the oil pressure sensor goes originaly it should be a lecci switch sensor but sounds like its been converted in the past for an oldschool analogue oil pressure gauge

its come full circle with oil filters ,who uses spin on filters now
Now being the operative word. The design of the series engine goes back a long way.
Spin off filter = little spillage when replacing.
Series cartridge filter = half a pint of oil up your sleeve when replacing.

I like hot oil up my sleeve...if you're really clever you can leave the bucket you drained the oil in under the filter, unscrew the retaining bolt. Then the hole lot drops into the bucket and not only do you get it down your arm you get it in your nose, eyes, ears, all over the floor!
