Coolant system woes (first issue after buying car)

Does anyone recognize what this dripping port is for/ what should be at the end of it? I parked the car today (left it running as I was waiting to pick someone up) and all of a sudden there was the familiar smell of coolant, and subsequent leakage on the ground (a lot). After taking care of business, I came back to do some investigating.

Findings:
-my coolant cap has coolant around it and is (if I'm not mistaken) the original with last digits of 00

-coolant tank looks OK (not super yellow, no coolant under trunk carpet)

-when I poured water into the coolant tank, since I was pretty sure almost all the coolant came out, I found it dripping here (see pic)

I'm not familiar enough to know what should be there or what it should look like, but to me, it looks like there's a hose or something missing.

Thanks for helping. (First Porsche I've owned, and only had it a month or so)

-Ben
