Default Trivia - Can you name this part?

Can you help me identify the part in the picture? It's leaking some fluid, not sure what, and would like to replace it but I am not sure what it is. Thanks!

General area:




Close up (Its that tube that is taped up):

I don't have a 30v but my 12v has a power steering line that runs by there to the power steering pump under the coil packs. Ecstuning.com should have the correct hose for you.

I believe Cincy is correct. It is a line running to the power steering pump. Take off your coil packs and you'll see where it goes. On the end towards the back of the engine at the end of the rubber part it screws onto a metal hard line. That connection is under where the fuel lines connect to the fuel rails.

After doing more research it is indeed a power steering high pressure hose. Thank you for your valuable input. Is this hard to replace? From what I can tell this thing connects to parts down under which look difficult to get to.

It will probably require the intake to be removed.

FYI -- You can buy the correct Pentosin power steering fluid at Advance Auto Parts and NAPA.
