That is the ATF cooler line.One of the line goes to the radiator and the other is the return line. To get to the oil pan bolt you have to loosen the line's hanger mounting bolt you see in the pic.

FYI, Nissan instructs to replace the transmission pan bolts. They come from Nissan with sealant applied to the threads. I would also recommend a genuine Nissan pan gasket; they are a lot better than the aftermarket gaskets.
