can you take a picture from a little farther away? it is hard to understand the location of what you circled.
That looks like a high pressure fitting for your A/C system which does not have coolant in it so that cannot be right.
Please try not to overheat your car as it is very bad for the motor and can be very costly to repair.

That part you circled is the exhaust feed tube that goes to the EGR valve.
The leak is probably one of the transfer hoses under that fitting. There is also a waterpump feed pipe under there.
You need to watch closely in that area while someone starts the car briefly.

Yea your EGR valve has nothing to do with water in any way shape or form.
