Its the Low side A/C hose, goes from accumulator to compressor, and if its covered in motor oil then you got a leak above that, probably one of the turbo oil feed lines or the oil cooler lines.

I would say it is more likely a leak coming from the power steering pump (which is directly above that hose). The oil cooler lines are also right there, but my bet would be ATF from the PS pump or leaky PS lines. What color is the fluid?

Alright thanks again, it is the power steering hose. I should of known this because I have refilled the fluid twice already. Thanks again
