What is this thing?

[Gregory OConnor]

Ryan, I would go with pressure regulator if it is routed to the bulk
oil??? Have you tried to tighten up the 4 screws?? looks like it
was off and rebuilt recent. may be time for a new one. Take care to
first remove the bell shaped nut holding the airline. the lines get
brittle with all the heat back there. If you must replace the metal
air line, the plastic stuff is way tough but I wonder about the
heat. I have the same leaking item just to the right of the 8V, near
the bumper
