There is a brass nipple between the transmission fill cap and the oil pump (red arrow).
What is supposed to go on there?
I don't remember taking anything off when I took the bike apart.
I'm guessing maybe a breather hose as the trans case is closed?

Re: GT550L engine questions
That's the trans breather. Nothing goes on it. It will be covered by the oil pump cover.

Ah. That would explain why I don't remember taking anything off it then.
Whew! I thought maybe Oldtimer's Disease was kicking in...
Thanks!

Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.
