Vent hose. Should be a clip up there somewhere for it. I think mine runs up behind the shock tower, on the inner wheel well. Little dark and cold for pics.

the white part doesn't, that is the vent portion. there should be a plastic clip that clamps onto the hose, and should have a door panel push pin style piece on it as well that will go into the fender. (look for a hole)

EDIT

Look towards the PCM, there is a black hose running up and a white vent on top.

the little white cap is a check valve that keeps debris out. if yours is lost you should replace it. i wouldn't think it would cost more that a couple of dollars new, or you could get one from a junk yard probably for nothing.
