Clean it and check the next day to see if you can tell for sure where the leak is.
There is typically an aluminum washer and a copper gasket. Maybe you just need to
tighten the hex bolt or replace the copper gasket if it has been loose for a while.

It's called a banjo fitting. For the purpose of transferring fluid from the hose to an engine block for example.
Where the fitting crimps onto the hose is another suspect connection. Clean it and check for new leakage. That
will help you pinpoint where it's leaking. The bolt going through the fitting is hollow. Don't gorilla tighten
it or you may twist it off!
