If one of the ends has become unsoldered, I clean them up with sandpaper and slip the end back on with a coat of JB weld and wipe off the excess. I then install the oil line on the engine with gaskets in place. The JB sets up with the oil line on the engine and this correctly locates the angle of the pipe end. I use a touch of permatex on the gaskets and let it sit for 16 to 24 hours before returning it to use. This works good for me. I've used JB on cracked blocks and stripped jeep hubs and axles and have no fear that JB would fail. There is no pressure, its just gravity overflow.
