I just discovered this interesting little hose poking out underneath my vehicle. It is on the passenger side forward from the front jack point and just behind the right front wheel well. I suspect it’s some sort of water drain line. I’m wondering if this could be a key to one of the biggest unsolved Porsche maintenance mysteries. I’m wondering how is it that I’m just noticing this for the first time (or why all of a sudden did this make its way out).

Looks like a battery vent tube to me.

That is the drain tube from the gas cap to allow for drainage from that area. If you open the cap, you will see a small hole under the gas input.

As it turns out your Porsche is a boy! Congratulations!

Gas cap drain for sure. I saw where it routed when I pulled my liner on that side to pull the front bumper.

Thank you to those who said gas cap / fuel overflow.

Fuel well drain makes sense! I was thinking it could be a moon/sun roof drain as well... common place for one. Assuming your car has a moon/sun roof that is!

i kind of feel that a sun/moonroof drain would be further back on the vehicle whereas ac and windshield area would be toward the front.
