This is an easy one for you Y-block experts. I bought an oil pan with attaching pickup tube on ebay.
The end of the tube where it goes into the oil pump has a sizable dent, almost looks like it was put there using a die.
So my question is: Does that dent belong there?? Photos attached.,

I see that all the time, don't know why, I beat it back straight with a steel dowel and a hammer

Probably from overtightening of the nut onto the rubber seal. Was done a lot to try & fix leaks [air-in when running or oil out when parked/off] there. Overtightening just made it worse; then, to the point of collapse as you see on your pickup pipe as pictured.
