Default S-70 Advice needed!

I have a 99' S-70 T-5.
She is putting out some nasty black smoke out the exhaust and is burning through fuel like a rocket.
Upon inspection I have found a small leak, that seems to be oil although it does not seem to be loosing oil.
I am a DIYer and I am trying to find out the terminology of the items in the picture below as I would like to fix the hose that is leaking.
Anyone know what this is specifically? The location is in the cabin side of the engine underneath the vehicle just before the exhaust.

Turbo oil drain o-ring seal. Very common problem.

PITA to fix. I fixed mine with flowable silicone. Very unusual for me as I never half-*** anything. Made an exception for this job though.

I guess I should add this has nothing to do with your excessive fuel consumption or black smoke. Your car is overfueling. First thing to check is the MAF sensor.
