Ever had to change the heater hose?!?

OK so get this... I don't have that hose..... there is a solid plug where that hose would go. So there was never a hose there...

This is exactly what my problem is. Mine looks like yours too. Mine also makes a whining sound and goes away when I pull the dipstick out. If I got a hose to connect those 2 (like his), would that fix my problem?
if so, why are ours like that?
Also, where can I get that exact hose? Ive searched and cant find it. maybe I just dont know what to call it...
