Help!

A mouse ate through a small solid hose next to the battery in my 1989 944S2. There is a kind of reservoir (black can) next to the battery, and a flexible piece of hose comes from it. Inserted into that hose is a VERY thin piece of plastic tubing that goes past the battery and plugs into a larger flexible hose to the engine.

I have no idea what this hose is for, but the mouse ate the solid and thin piece! Is there anything in this thin hose other than a center hole? I need to replace it. At present the thin, hard piece is chewed off and seems to be sealed, so the engine runs fine. but, there must be a small leak in it somewhere. What is this small plastic tubing called and is there a part number?

What is this vacuum reservoir part of and why is it here?

P.S. I also lost my right low beam headlight. There is no current to the yellow wire at the headlamp. The mouse must have gotten a cable somewhere (the ground is also gone on the right headlight). Any clues where to look? I took off the engine covers and searched around the front of the car, but saw no obvious mouse damage. The ground is easy, but can I run a new yellow wire from the fuse box???

Darn Mouse!
