Unconnected pipe

I would be grateful if someone could let me know where the shiny pipe with white numbers in the centre of the pic is meant to be attached. I've had a look and can't find anywhere. Could this be the source of a rainbow stain on my drive this morning?

In the top pic it looks to be connected to the lower pipe but it is just resting on top.

Thanks in anticipation,

Gordon

Front diff vent (I cheated and looked up the part number  :) )

Thanks. So I take it that if it is a vent pipe it doesn't connect to any thing? If it does I can't see where.

It’s a free end.  No connection.

Thanks. I've cable tied it so it isn't flopping around.
