Hose help

While i was fixing my starter 95 nissan maxima this hose was hanging under my intake on top of some other hoses. I couldn't seem to find the spot where it ran through so I was wondering if anyone knew which hose this was and where its located.

You might try posting pictures of you engine and someone might recognize what is missing.

Prevents a pressure buildup in the transmission. It's a pretty long hose and when in place it comes up near the top of the engine. My concern would be that you now have an opening for crap (technical term!) to get in the tranny more easily. On my '97 5sp it comes up on the driver's side and ends up running horizontally near the front valve cover IIRC. The top of your picture looks like the top part of my hose.
