Hi. New to the forum. Can anyone help with what this part is called? It is leaking from the tube going to the silver part that has fins on it.

Thanks,

That is a very rare failure, first one we have seen. You need to drain the coolant in order to change out the oil cooler. It is not the easiest part to gain access to.

If there are any competent radiator repair places left in your area, they can fix it.
Otherwise, you will be replacing it.
