The oxygen return port on the heat exchanger.

Internally, the heat exchanger had four oxygen coils through which the LOX passed, evaporating and expanding into gaseous oxygen (GOX) in the still-warm turbine exhaust gases, so there are four externally-visible tube outlets within the oxygen return port.

The text next to the flange at the 6:00 position reads "GO₂ out".
