Default Please help diagnosing '05 V6 oil leak

I have a 2005 Accord Coupe V6 with an automatic transmission and 45k miles. What hose is this oil leaking coming from right next to the oil filter? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

The fluid leaking is engine oil, not transmission fluid.

Its hard to tell what is going on with a closeup like that. Can you take a picture zoomed out more and post it?

Where does that pipe go? You also need to find the highest point you see oil to get a better idea of what is actually leaking.

Figured it out. It's part of the power steering line.

You may want to call your dealership, because there was a recall on one of the power steering lines for my 05 TSX. Your accord may fall under that recall and maybe the recall was never done on your car.

Appreciate the advice. Local dealership is looking at it tomorrow and I will be sure to mention the potential recall.
