1/2 rubber hose.. 1/2 barb fitting in the oil pan.

total : 4$

but i would suggest a 1/2 SS line so it doesnt get fucked by the temps there.

I would recommend welding it to the pan, the "bolt on flange" types always leak, and I have no idea where you can even get them.

you can JB weld it to the pan.
jb weld is a kind of epoxy, no actual welding required.
