Engine question - Leak from a tube - can't figure out tube name
I have a 2007 Type S with automatic transmission. Over 110k miles.
If you take a look at the attached picture, I've highlighted a tube that I believe has cracked and is leaking oil.
I can't seem to find a diagram of the engine to confirm what this tube is called?
I recently changed my spark plugs and remember pulling this tube somewhat hard to get it to rest in bracket that is located on the rear of the engine. I believe I stressed the material and created a small leak.
So can anyone confirm the following:
1.) What the name of that tube is?
2.) If anyone had an engine diagram for the 07 type s?
3.) If anyone has heard of this tube tearing or leaking?

It was/is the subject of a major recall most 3G TL models, including the Type-S, because of potential leaks, which have caused a few fires and car-B-Qs.
Get it replaced.
Replacement is free if the recall hasn't been done on your vehicle (the updated hose has an additional wrap around it).
