The is good kludge and bad kludge. If it were me then
1) I would have gotten one from a JY for next to nothing.
2) I would block the line going into the oil gauge, may be with a rubber gasket stuffed in the hole and screw the line back on. Then buy one from a JY at a convenient time when money is not tight.
One would never, ever crimp the oil line. This makes fixing the darn thing much more difficult. There is nothing wrong to maintain the MBZ with the cheapest means possible. I do it all the time, source parts from JY, Craigslist, or cheap brands, in this order. Don't get me wrong, I am a man of means but I like to improvise and recycle.
