What is this?

I don't even know, I do know its leaking oil...I think. Its a pretty good amount of oil coming out of there, well enough to know that its leaking.

they did a recall for the oil cooler lines in Canada, but here in the US I don't believe they ever recalled them.

if it is the lines and you end up having to replace them you could always upgrade to these: http://www.racingbeat.com/RX8/Oil-System/11911.html

That doesn't sound like something good to be leaking

Jeez if anything I'll go with them. They do seem like the cheaper way than going oem and paying 1k.
