That line is not a drain! It brings oil up from the lower main bearing to lube the upper main bearing. There is another drilling in the upper main bearing that directs the extra gas/oil mix to the carburetor side of the reed valve. If the line is unhooked it will spill gas/oil mix all over. It is easy to plug the drain to the carburetor with to much sealer on the reed gasket. OMC and other manufactures have this lube system and it normally works good.
