There is a coolant line that runs to the underside of the throttle body, and then from the throttle body to the backside of the intake manifold near where the egr tube connets. There is a short tube through the manifold casting. From there another rubber line returns to the cylinder head.

What you have pointed to with an arrow is the clamp around one of those lines at the backside of the manifold. It may need a new clamp or possibly the line needs replacing. To get to it you'll need to remove the IACV, unless you can reach up there from behind and below the engine, like where you took the picture from.
