Need help identifying a leaking part

Hey guys,

I seem to have an issue with a leaking part on my 98' v6 catfish.
The circled part in the photos is leaking, and I don't seem to able to find the part# for it anywhere.
Any help is appreciated!

Are you sure its not just condensation from the air conditioning?

Unfortunatly, yes, since I get air bubbles when I'm using the AC and spraying some soapy water on it.

Probably an O Ring.

I would take it in to a good shop and get the system checked.

They will do a leak test then drain the system then replace the seal and recharge it.

Firstly thank you very much for helping me out here!
I've tried taking it to several shops, they all say it's an internal unit and refuse to fix it.
I'll also add a video to the main subject as reference.

Sounds like maybe the evaporator core is leaking. But if it is leaking enough to get bubbles, it won't be long until the refrigerant leaks out and the compressor stops working.

Otherwise, your bubbles might just be from air pressure caused by the fan and your bubbles aren't a problem.
