Default Leaky hose

The pics show a leaking hose on my base 07. Can you identify which hose it is?
Power steering?

Thank you

It looks like the engine oil cooler option hose on a z51 car. It takes oil to the radiator for cooling. Is it a z51? A lot of times the problem isn't the hose, but the retainer that holds it in place.

. It is not an EOC but a transmission OC line.You can buy the whole line but extremely hard to change. Mine was leaking from the crimped fitting. Used a Dremel tool on both ends to remove. That rubber line is only around 12 inches long. Napa high pressure oil line hose and 2 clamps fixed it. Both ends of the hose under the crimped fitting are knurled for a tight fit..

Your right, EOC would be other side, if present.
