Default Help what is this!??

I'm taking off my old exhaust system to do longtubes and this popped up after I dropped the old exhaust. The old exhaust is not the stock one so nothing was tied to it or anything. What is this rubber line and where does it connect? It was dripping some sort of fluid (barely) so I couldn't catch what it was.
HELP PLEASE!!!

looks like it could go to the vent tube on top of the tranny since it runs straight up beside it.

while I was under there, I also came along this:




Don't know what it is but it was very loose so I tightened it back up.

^^^The pictures are not very good, but I believe that is one of the factory mounts for the y-pipe. I believe those bolts that hold the mount on actually hold the torque arm in place too(not 100% sure).
