Chasing an oil leak and think I've narrowed it down to a loose hose clamp on #1 cylinder oil scavenge line. But while looking for that, I came across another issue:

That link is to a picture of what I'm about to describe. I can't upload pictures from my iPad and hot linking isn't allowed on this forum. I'll upload it from my work PC in a couple days if needed. Anyway...
The issue is the oil scavenge line from #1 (and #2 as well) cylinder is making physical contact with the long line/bolt that puts tension on the engine baffling. There is a rubber sleeve around the line/bolt, but it's melted and there are rub marks on the oil scavenge line. The other side has a big glob of silicone at the touch point.
The Lycoming manuals are detailed in this area of assembly and I tried doing a Google search for images but can't quite find one that shows clearly what I need. Anyone have an image of this area of their engine, or know of what the proper setup is?
The engine is a Lycon based upon the Lycoming IO-360-B1B.
