The pipe going into the oil pan is the drain from the oil separator in the air filter housing, all W123 diesels have one.
Our 81 240D does not have one. The only 240D i have seen WITH one is the 83. I am not sure if 82 it "mit" or without. None of the 81 and earlier 4cyl diesels have this extra drain.
I took off the vacuum gizmo and just put a cork in the top of the second drain pipe when i put an 83 engine in the 81.
