PLZ HELP! What does this connect to? It comes off of the EGR valve.

This is on my EGR valve, between the sensor on the valve & the engine block.

This tube has a flat, round piece at the end. The flat, round piece has holes in it. It looks like a vacuum tube. Where does it plug into?

Please help! I get the trouble code for a vacuum leak & think this is causing it. Thanks in advance for the help!

It's a breather for air intake and there is nothing wrong or missing.
