Default 2005 833 Sportster parts Schematic

I am new to cycling and starting small with a 2005 883 Sportster. It’s fun riding but there has been this constant oil leak. While trying to find out where the oil was leaking from, I broke one of the connection points on the oil tank. I finally was able to find a replacement tank, but I am not entirely sure where everything goes. Does anyone have or know where to find a Schematic of how to reinstall the oil tank?

It took some time, but I was able to install the replacement Oil tank. As I look at the diagram line 20 is connect to the outer fitting and goes to the Oil pump. Line 14 is connected to the inner fitting and is the oil return from the filter. And line 16 is the oil drain. What is line 15? where does it go and what does it do?

II have been retired of 15 years and bored out of my mind. It been very enjoyable getting my hands grease again!

Perhaps it's the vent line to the rear of the cam cover.
