Default garrett oil/water line confusion?

im trying to hook up my oil and water-cooler lines, the only problem im having is theres only 3 threaded connectors, which there should be 4, oil inlet, oil outlet, water inlet, and water outlet. 2 of them are a little bigger in diameter than the other one. im guessing the bigger diameter ones are for the water lines? also, the smaller diameter has some black residue on it, im guessing from oil. on the bottom of the turbo housing theres a metal tube, which i believe is for the return oil line, but its not threaded or anything and appears you connect a rubber hose to it?

heres what ive concluded.
from the garrett website...

it says oil inlet on top and oil outlet on bottom...
so i think what i stated up there ^ is correct.

and heres some pictures of what im talking about.
red circle is the smaller diameter, black residue connector
blue are the bigger diameter ones




and if all that is right, can i just use a rubber hose for the oil return line to the oil pan?

sorry for the confusing post i just need to know if im right or not so i dont hook up coolant to oil or vice versa.

thanks guys

smaller line is oil feed 2 larger lines are water and you can use rubber line for the drain but get it from a hydraulic shop because regular hose will become saturated with oil and fail quickly on you.
