The hose is fitted because the seal between the gear box and the transfer is leaking, when it leaks gearbox oil is pumped into the transfer and it will blow the transfer out put seals and run the gear box low on oil, the hose allows the oil to flow back to the gear box, not a good fix this, i would do the seal, the diff should be fine, if there is no noise don't worry.
