Default 1988 Audi 90 Quattro AGAIN!

Alrighty Lets get started on why im posting, I was jacking the car up to drain the oil, and waddya know, the car falls off and this pipe cracks, the car runs, but it dies after a minute or so. The pipe that cracked is in the pictures provided. I have no idea what it does, so please let me know!

Use Duct tape and tape it back together.

Umm its a 3 way pipe, if i duct tape it, itll collapse and cause no vacuum... What does this do anyway, Because after the car dies the oil light flashes. Does it have anything to do with the oil?

if engine doesnt rotate, what is turning the pump. So if engine stales, no oil preasure.
If you just close that line, like take it away and put something in, your car would run fine. However you will not have vacuem booster. if you put the thing close eniugh, and duct tape a lot, it will not colapse under vacuem.

It starts and runs for a minute, then it stalls. After it stalls, The oil light comes on. But anyway ill ductape it with something to support it. Has this part ever broken on anyone else? Also when the car fell, a jackstand hit the oil pan, the oil pan has a dent in it now but thats what caused the pipe to break, because the engine moved. Theres no hole in the oil pan (thank god) but anywho, Im not going to get rid of this awesome car. So if this doesnt work, ill need a mechanic
