Unhappy Help, with a quick question

I just took the bike out of storage (finally) and took it over to a freinds place. As I got there, the drive belt cut an oil line in two (I guess the oil line tube was too long, or became detached). Aside from the mess, I'm now in his garage without my Clymers. Can anyone give me a quick note on where the oil line from the crankcase goes to....where does it attach? This is the line that comes out at the base of (below) the jugs.....not the 2 going to and from the oil pump and the oil tank. I can't see enough yet, and I don't want to start a major strip of the scoot in my buddies garage.....I appreciate any insights......

Drive belt near an Oil line?

You sure it's not an overflow or a drain line?

How about a picture.

Its a 2002, softail, but has a replacement S & S V96 in it, so the hose aren't OEM (unfortunately). The oil hose I'm talking about is likely the vent or the feed line hose that runs back to the back underside of the tank.....I guess the hose was left too long. The 2 hoses at the upper front of the tank are intact. Anyway, don't worry about it guys.....I'll have to pull the oil tank and repair it properly anyway....
