Default LR3 2005 AC Compressor Leaking

My LR3 AC went out. I hadn't driven it for a while so not sure when that happened. I recharged the AC refrigerant following the right procedures. Though the air started cooling off for a couple of minutes but then went back to normal temperature again. While the car was running during this process I noticed that the refrigerant was visibly leaking at the front of the engine right on the passenger side. Upon inspection, the leak was coming from where the compressor is located.

What is apparent is that the compressor seemingly works but some hose needs to be taken care of for the leak.

Does anyone have any experience on how to go about getting access to that part and changing the hose? Not sure exactly what kind of hose are connected there? Thank you for reading.

Not sure on the v6,but it should be a hardline at the compressor. My guess is the o ring. Recharge with some UV dye. Remove the fan, then start the vehicle and look for the leak.
