Hi. Investigating oil leaks under my 1985 BJ73 Landcruiser, I note that a previous owner has removed the plugs from the filler holes in the gearbox and transfer case, and connected them together via a plastic tube.

Both the caterpillar clips used to attach the tube were loose so this was a source of oil drips, easily fixed. But the tube is vulnerable to being snagged by branches or rocks, and I'm inclined to restore the original plugs.

HOWEVER someone must have gone to this trouble for a reason. Does anybody know what it might be, and if it's a good idea?
