I removed some parts. Did I screwup?

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

How should this be capped off? Should I just leave the line open?
I have the line running to just in front of the front wheel..
I could put the container back, but I sealed the wheel wells with MKII wheel 
well covers.(Looks better and will stay cleaner)
