Hi!

What is this part and what does it do?`
Mine looked a bit wet today, maybe oil?
Could this be leak? Should I be worried?

I guess the next logical step is to see if your steering has been affected. Is it hard to turn, or is it the same as always? If not affected, and the your fluid level is fine, it just might be some condesation or a very minor seal leak.

Mine is like that too. Dealer told me it was a weak/broken clamp that causes that and they replaced it. 0_o It still 'leak' though.
