    What's this for?

    Hey guys I was filling up my coolant reservoir when I spot this hose that wasn't hooked to anything. It's part of the reservoir, but any idea where it goes? Thanks in advance

    That's to let out excess coolant. Point it down so it doesn't "christen" the whole engine compartment.
