It's the pressure regulator. It leaks when the attached accumulator sphere is flat. Check to see if you can hear a regular ticking coming from the regulator. If it does, the sphere is flat. Changing it might stop the leak. If you want to have a go at repairing the seals on a regulator, there is info here:-

I believe there is also a rubber return pipe on it which can split and leak - there is on the XM anyway.
