Got to be more specific than that!

There are several and differing sizes going to the reservoir. If its the ones that fed the octopus or the oil back harness then I found inserting some pieces of the clear return piping works.

return lines to tank

i would carry a few joiners and electrical tape as if the are not big enough you can do a bodge repair to get them to fit till you get home.
as long as it can flow the return back to the tank you will be fine.

cut the split sections off then cut a short section back a bit more, and join with a length of 3.5 kunifer,
