Default Power steering oil leak

Hello
I do not know much about mechanics, so I have a simple question:

How do you call the part that is right next to the radiator (driver side) and that recieves a hose from the power steering pump and recieves on the other side what I think is the steering pressure line?

My XJ is leaking oil from the pressure line but I also see oil under that part.

I will appreciate your comments

Thanks

Clean the area then start the jeep & crank the wheel back & forth tell its leaking again. Then you can verify where the leak is coming from, & remove the hose that is leaking & replace!

Yep....Ryan is right. I just did the same thing on my XJ. Wasn't much of a leak...but had to clean it up to see it.
