Strange Oil Leak / P0430 Code - Advice

Good evening.

I'm a new member having just purchased a 06 plated ST220 V6. Stunning car even with 128,000 miles. It has a full service history from Ford so hopefully she has at least another year or so left in her with those miles!!!

Anyway, I have had the dreaded code P0430 come up less than 24 hours after buying her from a dealer. There is no performance issues, car runs smooth and is still powerful and dealer has agreed to fix it. HOWEVER I have discovered what appears to be a small oil leak from a pipe coming from the left side of the engine.

As you can see from the pics, the leak seems to be where one pipe is connected to another. Can anyone tell me what this pipe is and is the oil leak likely to be serious?

I'm trying to get armed with advice before speaking to the dealer to get that looked at too.

Apart from these issues, I really am enjoying driving her, much better than my Merc!!

Thanks for any advice
