Oil Weep ?

Hi all, noticed a oil weep from the front of the engine on the front right hand side of the fan - coming out of one of the two pipes there at the bottom. No leak as such but can see its been weeping for a while.

Is this one of the power steering pipes? If so is it an easy DIY, and do both pipes need to be done?

You sure it is not coming from OFHG?

Are you driving a right-hand driving car? I'm not certain if it's flipped from the conventional left hand drive, but the power steering cooler connections do tend to weep.
