Where might this hose go?

[RustyButTrusty]

Hey guys. I was looking up underneath my pathfinder earlier today and noticed a hose on the passenger side of the transmission that was unplugged. I looked around to see if I could tell where it could've come off of and I found a port almost on the very top of the transmission that points diagonally out of the side, with no hose attached to it. Well common sense told me that the length and size of this hose was just right to fit on this newly found port. The other end of the hose goes to a t-fitting on some metal lines that run along the passenger side frame rail. I didn't just want to ignorantly plug this in without knowing what it was. Any ideas. I'll try and post a picture or two tomorrow if I get a chance. Thanks!

possibly a vent?

Hmm yeah that's what I was wondering. I couldn't see any evidence of fluid leaking out of the hose, so I'm thinking you might be right. Just wanna be sure.

It's the vent.

Thanks, good to know! So I'm guessing the hose in question is supposed to attach to this port (or vent) on the side of the trans?

You got it.

IF you overfill your auto tranny this vent(when hooked up) will clean you passenger side Firewall and fenderwall. lol

Sounds like the wrong kinda wash to me! I sure appreciate it!
