That's really strange. Can you follow the lines from both ends to see where the lines terminate for sure? I'm thinking some kind of home-made CCV catch, but it's pretty small for that.
And so everyone doesn't have to go in his gallery, here's the pic:

That's a blurry picture, but i think it's some sort of a homemade ccv canister. Where does the other end of the hose go?

thanks
Thanks Izzy for posting that ok i just checked again and the line stops in front of the tank and is not attached to anything, just open 
So there is like a big mess back around my tank and on frame rails!! BTW this canister is leaking as you can see, I guess I will trace where it comes from

Yeah, it looks like the PO did a CCV mod to your rig, but i'm not sure why that little bitty canister is even there, it has no media in it to catch the oil residue, unless that drain plug is pulled off the canister, it serves no purpose...IMHO, just take that thing off and let it vent to the atmosphere and get a vacuum plug from Advance Auto for the (not sure what it's called) place where the hose reconnects to the air intake tube...you can get a pack of various sized rubber vacuum hose plugs there for $2.89...i just bought a pack on Tuesday...
I will go get some pics for my gallery so ya'll can see WTF i'm talking about...lol
