That doesn't look connected at all to me from here! Might be the plastic hose that sticks out that has sheared off somehow. Probably be a scrappers or VW dealers for that bit.

It does push onto an outlet and then a big green clip hold's it in place, and this is all ok and the clip hold's the pipe but still leakage!!

i had this on mine when i got it
undo the clip and pull the pipe out
clean all the oil up and check the pipe is ok
if it aint its £33 from main dealer
more than likely though there is a o ring inside where it sits and this is what was causing mine to leak oil

hopefully this is of assistance
