Question leaking black box beside engine mount

After replacing the oil pan on my '92 I-6, I notice that the funny looking tall black plastic box (looks like it has two round ***** on the top) mounted to the truck frame just to the side of the passenger side engine mount is leaking fluid.

It has two plastic hoses going into it, and a short metal hose coming out of it, and it seems the short metal hose is where the leak is coming from.

Anyone know what the box is and how to fix the leak?

Thanks!

Sounds like you are describing the charcoal canister. Is it leaking gas?

Yes, looks/smells like it is leaking gas. Not much, but enough to keep the surrounding area wet. I had to jack up the engine to get the oil pan off... maybe that disturbed it?
