No additional tubes are added. They're both there from the factory.

I need to replace this grommet as it is leaking pretty badly. Please do not tell me the oil pan needs to come down.
The tube goes quite a way in at the bottominto the engine

The upper sump needs to be removed (subframe etc) or I think you can remove the supercharger and get it out that way or just put sealer around the gromet............................... or cut the bracket off that is preventing the tube from sliding out next to the T/B, but if you do that you will not be able to secure back properly.

Yes I have, but i hade the engine suspended and the subframe out of the car. Lower and upper oilpan removed aswell. It's impossible to get back into the grommet if you do remove it. I had to cut it in half, inser lower half of tube into the grommet and then slide a rubber hose over the dipstick tube and two hose clamps to attach the piece of the tube above
