Looks like mine. I added RTV to the threads, but the o-ring is a very good idea. One of them is cleaner then the other and should be as the clean one goes back to the intake.

I think his drawing is just shitty. lol The o-ring acts as a seal between the two white fittings to help prevent oil getting on the threads then further leaking out of the connectors. I would add some silicone on the threads to prevent any oil that does get by the o-ring to not leak out of the connectors through the threads.

EDIT: looking at the pic again, the flow is wrong. OCC is south.
