Been a while since I've been here, because nothing has been a problem. But now I have one.
A few weeks ago, after driving in H4 during yet another snowstorm, I suddenly smelled burning oil. I was a block away from home so I kept going, I really didn't even know it was me or a smell from outside.
I popped the hood, and the whole drivers side wheel well was covered with black oil. ( I was due for a change) None of the normal places on the engine where oil could leak from was dirty, just the wheel well, and all the hoses and stuff there. Spent a few days wiping things down, and checking for drip on the cardboard I would put under the truck after I drove it. Except for dirty water from the snow, I never saw any oil drips at all...ever. And the smell got weaker as time went on.
Today I was changing a headlight because it actually got above 0 degrees, and I notice an amount of oil again, mostly on the hoses and the frame underneath.
I'm looking at the area, and out of the corner of my eye I see a drip coming from the fitting in the picture. I wiped it off, watched for a minute or so, and saw the drop form again.
Now I know were its coming from, but admit I don't now what the fitting is called, and what I need to do to fix it.
There is NO smell of fuel.

Thanks in advance for any help
