That's on the outside of the pressure cap and runs to the recovery/overflow tank in the middle of the cross member. The line runs to the bottom of the tank and it's cap is vented to atmosphere. Any coolant that pressure cap releases will run to the overflow but will be drawn back in when the engine cools again. It's an old system.

For track days (even with the header old tank) you should have a catch bottle on the overflow.
