If you have the part (shown in the picture as #1.928, that is all there is. The tube just fits into the hole in the cylinder head, it is a 'push' fit with no actual connector. If you do not have that part, I might be able to find one here in the US for you.

If your engine has not been running for a while, and the block has not been disassembled and 'cooked' clean, check that the oil passage up to the head and the one thru the head is not blocked.
