Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

When topping of the power steering fluid i noticed that this hose was not connected at the far end and can not find anything to connect it to. The loose end of the hose was actually tucked down below the reservoir. I think it's just an air bleeder hose to prevent back pressure but it doesn't show in my manuals. Ideas? Fluid was below the "cold" mark, going to fill it next.. Thanks.
Correct, it is a vent hose that leads nowhere. Item #2 in this drawing. It should be secured to the little bracket in the back of your photo, like this:

Wow! That's an awesome response.
Thanks for the confirmation and the great photo! I just am wary of unconnected hose and vacuum lines.
That line is removed in later versions in place of a cap (e.g. my '04 has a cap without the hose)
Interesting, mine is an 04 and has the hose. Ok, everybody, go look at your power steering fluit resevoirs and see who has hoses or not.
