English term or phrase: towards sump
Forma parte de la bomba de aceite pero no sé cómo traducirlo

entre los elementos que componen la bomba se encuentran el "oil filter", "oil flow", etc. "Pero el towards sump" no entiendo la palabra towards como adjetivo en este contexto.

Explanation:
... toda la frase, pero puede que hable de dos cosas:
1. La forma en que el aceite "vuelve al cárter".
2. La posición de algún elemento de la bomba o del circuito de lubricación respecto del cárter, "en la direccióndel del cárter", "al/hacia el cárter".
