Just my 2 cents
I THINK the tube is to prevent splash back up into the Separator from the spinning Crank.
Without it might get the Separator dirty sooner but more importantly I would worry about Gasketting the Separator at that second hole. I wonder if a coat hanger with a hook bent in the end will be able to run down the center of the tube and hook the bottom. then wiggle it up and out.
The 'O' ring that you think is missing from the fist hole is surely stuck to the bottom of the separator disguised as part of the plastic separator.
