oldskewel is on a distinguished road
That constant radius curved end is a clue. Is it hard plastic? Does the open end appear that it has never been attached to anything (e.g., no deformation from a clamp or barb or change in diameter)?

It could be a vent for the differential. One end attaches to the diff. The tube then goes upward, ending in that 180* u-turn so the open end is facing downward so nothing falls in.
