[SEL] Kohler Questions

[Jim French]

Hi Folks

Picked up a Kohler light plant on eBay recently and it runs like a Swiss clock.  Only problem is that oil is not getting up to the rockers / valves.  I've stripped the engine casing open and found that the oil pump is in good condition.  The oil rises off the oil pump in a copper pipe then to the rear of the camshaft housing.  From there another copper pipe takes the oil to the splash pan for the main bearings, the front timing gears and up to the rockers.  Where this pipe comes out of the camshaft housing at the rear of the engine, it is loose and lets oil seep out.  Is this a push-fit into the casting?  Or am I missing a few parts?
Any help would be appreciated!
I can take pics if it would help.

Thanks,
Jim
