What is this part and how do I stop it from leaking?

I have noticed today that the hose behind the oil filler cap is leaking at the base somewhere around the 90 degree angle (maybe at the base where it connects to the valve cover?). I am not sure what it IS leaking though. It looks and feels like fresh synthetic motor oil (I am currently running Rotella synth), but the oil has close to 3000 miles on it and when I check it with the dip stick, it is geting pretty dirty. I have three questions:
1: What is it?
2: What does it mean when it is leaking?
3: How do I fix it?
I guess the most important question is what it is. Searching for "do-hickey" and "thingie" did not seem to give me any decent results
