it's the tube that runs from your valve cover to the stock airbox. I beleive it puts out oil, so the catch can is to attach to that hose so that when you upgrade to a cai you don't have oil dripping down your cai and into your nice new air filter.

What will happened if it does drip on the air filter?

after enough oil I would think it would render the air filter pretty much useless because the oil would get into the pores and just completely clog them up.

It actually prevents oil buildup in the intake manifold, and helps minimize oil and carbon buildup on both the intake and exhausts valves.
