Little Tube On Intr. Housing By Oil Filler?

Well guys I am going to be installing the motor in a hour or so, and I am making sure that I have everything hooked up properly. When I did this I noticed that the little nipple/tube on teh intermediate housing has nothing going to it. So where does this go?
Thanks
-Justin

Is it on the drivers side next to the knock sensor? If so, its part of the positive crankcase ventilitation system (PCV) and needs to be properly routed to a non pressurized source.

So basically just put a tube on it and route it to atmosphere?
And just to make sure its right next to the tube on the oil filler neck that goes to the vacum harness.

Yep I have mine to the Cusco catch but you can just run a vacuum line down the side fender opening.

Just stick a hose on the nipple, run it down under the car somewhere and cable tie it to something. All you're doing is venting the sump outside engine bay instead of in it.
