What oil line is this called?

Hi, i need some help to identify what oil line is this, i replaced the Serpentine Belt, Tensioner, pulley and oil cooler gasket. i notices a line is leaking oil coming from the front of the engine on the bottom right above the oil pan.

Thanks

That's a wire next to your water pump, looks like a ground but the pic is so zoomed in hard to tell

Yup, there are no oil lines right there and I can tell it's a crimped wire. The oil leak is coming from somewhere else and dripping down the wire.

Thanks for the reply guys. my oil cooler gasket was leaking, could it be possible for the leak to reach down around the area of the wires? when i took off the under tray i can see oil on the water pump, front cross beam and sway bar

Anything leaking up top of the engine is most likely going to drip down, yes.

Yes, oil leak from the ofhg area sucks, it gets everywhere. Follow the oil forward and up to pinpoint. Just found my oil cooler line is failing where the rubber meets the metal, has developed a leak and slow drip, happened in only the last few days and oil is already making a mess allover the front, top, bottom, and underneath.
