The tube in you second photo is the oil fill tube. It's a 3 piece assembly, you're looking there at the middle section. Often the joint between the first section (in the trunk) and that one will fail, causing it to leak when you change the oil. I would clean the engine and pay attention to what happens at next oil change. If it leaks again, time for a replacement.
