At first I thought it would be the vacuum reserve tank; assuming your car has power brakes its purpose is to provide enough vacuum for one or more brake applications after the engine has shut down or stalled. But you say it's on the passenger side? Is you car RHD? I believe the vacuum reserve tank for LHD cars was on the driver side, inside the front fender well. It's vacuum was drawn from the intake manifold and included a check valve to retain the vacuum after engine shut-down.

Perhaps you can provide a picture? And the exact routing of the lines?
