It's part of the crankcase ventilation system. It's connected to the intake hose to pull vacuum for crankcase gasses. The part circled has a valve.

Is yours leaking oil?

I see a small oil residue on this rubber hose, the temp of that area really grows high due to turbos

If possible check to see if you have oil passing through to the intake. There could be some oil passing through the valve into the intake system.

You can use a paper towel and wipe the bottom of the intake pipe that goes into the inlet of the turbos. It's normal to find a little film of oil. Though if you find drippings of oil then most likely it's been traveling through your system.
