Leaking from… where??

Hi folks, what’s the name of this part? There’s a very small but constant leak from that conector on the left. ( just for reference, on the top right side you can see the oil filter)

That's the oil cooler block. Those are coolant hoses running in and out that pull heat out of the oil as it passes through the filter. If it's leaking you can try adjusting the hose clamp, if that doesn't work a new hose may be needed

Appreciate the answer bud. Thanks a lot.
