My 12x30 Hendey is missing the Git’s oil cup on the spindle clutch engagement collar. I’ve been squirting oil into the threaded hole to get by for now. Did the original Oiler have a wick? I found a 45 degree 1/8 pipe thread gits Oiler that may fit the bill but it has no wick.
 
Hartkem:

I have seen the Gits Oiler set up with and without some sort of wicking. On all of my lathes that use this oiling system, I
have installed a plug of felt to absorb the oil and allow it to slowly feed to the journal of the Engaging Cone. Since this
part of the Clutch is always rotating, it is important to keep it "wet".
