Sorry guys, was using the app and it kept crashing on me. But I'' having a slow leak coming from the above picture. Not too familiar with this area of my cooling system. But it appears to be leaking due to the presence of antifreeze. What is that piece called and is it common to be prone to failing?

Awesome, thanks for the help. I'll be sure to replace that when I get offf shift. What does this part do for my xj? Just so I have an understanding of it.

Just did some google research and found that it helps to control the coolant that flows to the heater core. Which in turns help heat the cab. I have always had warm heat but not hot. So when I go to replace this, should I buy a nice brass one to replace? Or just go with plastic? Not too sure if it will help my case. No A/C either.
