It'll be either a drain, in case water gets in, or a bleed so that pressure can equalise?

Unlikely to be temperature vent but more chance of being a vent to atmosphere to reduce the chance of condensation forming from unequal temps / moistures.

Headlight units quite often have them as L-shaped tubes where the long bit points down - virtually stops water getting in but allows air "transfer."
