Default Why is this hose weeping?

What is this hose on the underside of the engine and why is it weeping? Some kind of fluid is slowly collecting on the garage floor, even days after the car has been driven.

Oil cooler hose. Hose needs to be replaced. Any good hydraulic hose shop can make a new one if you take the old hose with you.

Correct, but just check that the fluid is actually oil, and not something else like coolant that might come from above.

See that metal pipe with the clamp attaching it to the body, just below your Red circle, good.

That needs a rubber sleeve inserted QUICKTIME, or the metal to metal will rub a hole and ruin the experience.
