Need help identifying a leaking part please.

I was just changing the oil on my fiance's MC (2003) and noticed that something was leaking oil pretty badly, but I don't know what I'm looking at. Any help would be great. I need to know what it is that's leaking and how tough it would be to replace.

I stole this pic from another site, but it's the part that sits right behind the little fan. On the rear side of the car in relation to the fan.

Thanks a lot for any and all help.

Any idea how difficult it is to replace or how expensive at the stealership?

Thanks for the info.

No such luck. It has over 75k miles on it.
