Default oil line routing

ok, so I got to hear Frankenstein bust off earlier, but I still have a oil line coming out and no place to be returned back into, I know the tank is a different year than what the engine is for the fittings that is needed
, any ideas what to do with it, its the stubbed off line in the back of first picture.. I put up the other two so a better perspective could be used and style tank I have

Default Vented line

really hard to totally see and not knowing year make and model looks to be for crankcase vent that should go to tank or outside breather

the engine is an 86, the line rite in the middle of the first picture, looks like someone put a hose barb on it but its only 3-4 in long and cut off

refer to manual can find online for sure comes off of inside of oil pump top most likely crankcase vent most are run back to oil bag and some are hooked to an small breather run down to lower frame and secured there
