A pipe towards the front of my engine is releasing alot of air pressure and I'm not sure if a hose is supposed to be connected to it, or where it would connect to. Any advice would help.

You're going to either have to have a live person look at it or try to post a photo of the pipe. Can you determine what it is hooked to? There's no way we can see or hear what's happening over a computer. Is there any unusual noise or hissing associated with the air? Is it a metal or rubber pipe? How large in diameter is it?

That appears to be part of the EGR system. One pipe will attach to the exhaust system and will make a lot of noise if it has a leak in it. The small fitting should have a vacuum hose connected to it. There's a vacuum hose routing diagram on a sticker under the hood that will show where that hose goes to.
