Default AU Oil Leak - what is this thing that the oil is coming from?

G'day guys,
Recently my AU 6 cylinder has started to leak oil quite heavily, and today I jacked it up to see if I could find/rectify the problem. The sump is covered in oil, and I think I've found the source of the leak. It's this line shown below, located on the right hand side of the block, just above the oil filter. After starting the car up I noticed bubbles forming at the plastic connector. I was wondering if someone could tell me what it is, and how to fix it? Any help would be much appreciated. Here's the leaking line:



And a close up:



I have more photos of it if needs be..
Thanks!
