pump in the trunk

hello i have a 2004 e320 and hear a pump running in the trunk on the drivers side so i pulled back the carpet and i see the pump with a hose coming out of it and then i see a black i guess canister on the drivers side quarter panel with a hose coming out of it it looks like the hose broke in the middle should that pump connect to that black canister and what does that pump and canister do
thanks

Dynamic seats pump
You should have one loose hose with safety valve on it. Cant' see it too well on the picture, but the white things looks like the valve?
Pump should run just for seconds to build the pressure. When you hear it constantly >>>> you've gotta leak

Yes, it is small pump when dynamic seats need lot of air fast when they work. That is why you have big reservoir.
You did not say if you have problem with the seats?

no problem with the seats but after 3 days of not using the car it does not start battery is new so i checked to see if i have a drain on the battery that's when i heard the pump running and it had a bad drain on battery so i unplugged the pump and waited 3 days and car started right up the only thing i can figure with the hose broken the pump would run and then shut off and then turn on again during the time it sat parked
