This is about the only way moisture can get into the gear box. It's a vent line on the top venting to atmosphere. As long as that hose is in good shape, as well with the rubber gasket in the case, not cracked, pinched or clogged, and routed so water can't back up into the gear box there won't be a moisture problem. The interior has to be able to breath to outside
