did valver engines come with an oil cooler as standard?

ive found a ridgid pipe coming from the block and runs along the bottom of the inlet mani, it has a bit of a bend in the end and has a threaded nut on the end. whats this pipe for all i can think is its for an oil cooler??

cant get a pic atm but it is basically a narrow ridgid pipe that seems to come out of the block under the inlet mani at the cambelt end and runs along the underside of the inlet then near the TB it has a slight downward bend and a threaded nut at the end

its possible that the powersteering has been removed or the car has had another engine in the past. i doubt it would do any harm just leaving it
