Default Kinked Hose?

So I was changing my tranny and diff fluids today and I noticed a kinked hose behind the radiator to the left. I tried to trace it but I can't see where it goes. I've been driving around and it doesn't seem like anything is wrong. Temperature looks normal, not over heating. Steering is fine and braking is fine. I don't know what it is. Maybe you guys can help me out? I'll post a picture in a few minutes.

I think those are the lines from the air pump, you should be able to straighten it out if you play with it a bit, but if it is from the air pump it won't do any harm.

I haven't gotten any CEL's and I've had the car for two months.

you can loosen the clamp pull the hose and straighten it out and then reinstall in a direction that doesn't kink it, there's no fluid in that hose, it only moves air. Otherwise leave it and see if any cel's come from it, it would only be an emmissions cel , nothing major so it's worth waiting it out if you don't want to mess with the hose. Or try to manipulate it with your hand before removal and see if it straightens out.
