That is your resevoir over flow. It drains straight down to the ground.

If you are referring to the two hoses connected to the cap on your coolant overflow reservoir (white plastic translucent container), this is normal. One hose runs between this cap and the engine, allowing the overflow reservoir to catch any coolant overflow from the engine. A second hose simply points down toward the ground to allow any additional coolant that overflows the coolant overflow reservoir to escape.

Yeah, that line is an air vent for the overflow tank. Nothing to be worried about.
