Hi, I have an oil link under my car, I'm not up on my car parts so wondering if someone could tell me what part of the car this is? https://ibb.co/nAX3ne It's leaking where the red colour part connects.

Can't catch a break with this car at the moment so hoping it's a cheap fix.

Update: Followed the pipe back and seems to be going to the radiator area, is this something to do with the coolant system?

I have the same, it not a big leak , just a few drips on the undertray. It seems like the pipe just push fits in, would love to know what its for.

Looks like an intercooler hose to me. You get some oil pooling in the bottom of the lower intercooler pipes. You could pull it off and clean it out if you fancied it
Shouldn't be a mega job. The push fit deals on the hoses can be a bit pants.

You shouldn't need to replace it but could change the o ring on the joints to get a better seal back. TPS or a Seat dealer will sell the seals. Be warned, they will be ridiculously expensive for what they are. I had to change a few when I had my Toledo 150tdi.
