This is a part of the Bijur lubrication system. The tubing is really
tiny, maybe 1/8" OD. It is used to deliver oil to the head.

When disconnecting the head, I may have pulled the tube too hard and
that's the result. It tore off.

What sort of connectors are used in those and how would I fix it once
I get it home?

There is a tiny ring..a sacrificial collet that goes on the end of the
tubing and when its forced into the hole by the nut..it snugs around the
tubing. They are a one-shot and you toss the used piece away and buy a
new one. Most "good" hardware stores, and Napa often have these. Ive
also found them at Home Despot.
