Default Stupid question, what is this?

I know motor basics but am terrible without diagrams. Can someone tell me what the elbow goes too?

Reason I am asking is because I am searching for a vacuum leak due to P0174 and P0171 codes being thrown, and when I spray Carb Cleaner on the base of the attachement, the motor wants to stall.

Thanks for the help!

I think it's a heater hose.

The base of that heater hose is just above the junction of the intake manifold and cyl. head. You probably have a leaking intake gasket.
