okay so what's your question?
it's most likely a vacuum line, either replace it or just tape it up with some duct tape.

Mine did the same at a similar location. I just took the "broken piece of tubing off and then I re-attached the remaining piece back onto the connector.

IIRC, my vents were stuck on defrost no matter what the setting was set at when that hose was leaking.
