need help identifying a part

[dcrou7]

hi guys and girls, so I've got a 2005 vz crewman with the v6 alloytec and I've recently noticed this thing (see pic) on top of the engine is leaking coolant and I have no idea what it is or what its called. if anyone knows what it is any information on it will be much appreciated. it looks like something I could replace myself fairly easily but I don't know what its called so I don't know what part to look up

cheers!

Thanks mate. Is it an easy enough job to replace myself or should I take it to a mechanic?

When car is cold squeeze clamps together with pliers and slide clamps back and pull tap from hoses.
I use a little gasket goo, locktite number 3, on the new tap but most will say you don't need it.
Push new tap into hoses and refit clamps.
The tap I have on the bench is a repco RHV2005 and it is best to have you vin number when ordering as there are more than one I am told.
