Default what is this?

Im doing a LS4 swap into a Lamborghini Diablo kit car. On the water pump housing, just below the fill cap, there is 2 tubes sticking out. One right on top of the other, one is for the overflow and the other one in question is smaller in diameter is directly below it..

This a pic I found online and it doesnt have the little tube (that I can see) but it shows where its located...
