That’s the adapter for the remote oil filter. It should not be that loose which will cause a leak.

Tighten the bolt in the middle. No need to remove hoses unless you need clearance to the center.

If it’s like the OEM adapter that’s on my boat you should remove it and install a new gasket then reinstall it snuggly.

With the OEM there is no center bolt as it just threads on like a oil filter.

Only long term fix, yes. How big is the hole? JB Weld May be a temporary fix if not too big of a hole.

Also risking engine damage if leaks gets too bad.
