Should be a plastic bottle strapped to the front of the engine with that hose going into it. The bottle has some holes in the top for pressure relief. Some on this forum have relocated the hose so it doesn't blow oil on the radiator when going down steep inclines.

Unfortunately that is "normal". Its referred to as the "puke" bottle. Its the breather for the crankcase. Extending the tube down and removing the bottle is a good fix. Just make sure you get hose rated for fuel/oil. Search "puke bottle relocation" for a lot of good ideas/options.
