I was winterizing my Volvo 5.0 Gxi-e and pulling the left side lower drain plug and notice it was stripping. There is a t connector on this side. One end goes to block, the other end is the drain plug and the 3rd is a round piece with a aluminum tube. Only way I could get it off was the take the t off. What is this round piece with a tube. Not sure if it was connected to something. I am not able to find this piece in any engine diagram or parts list
