What’s this part? (From a car noob with a Masters degree in engineering)

I found a leak from this thing. I first thought it was a oil filter housing but realized it ain’t. The leak is somehow not really affecting my drive. But I want to know what it is so I can address it.

Yes sir! I worked on ceramic parts for producing thin sheets of glasses for your phone/TV/computer displays!!! I did some automotive engineering at Cornell.
