What is it?

Hi Guys,
I have the intake and exhaust manifolds removed off the engine, 1994 7.3 turbo.
There is a big pipe?, on the drivers side that goes from the front of the motor back to the oil filter base??

It has some oil on the outside of it like maybe it’s been leaking?
I was thinking it would be the time to rebuild it to make sure it doesn’t leak after we do all this engine work.

So can anyone tell me what it does or is? And how do I rebuild it?

Thanks again for all your help.

I wondered if it was an Oil Cooler. Only logical solution I could think of.

Thanks Olds for the link!!
