Does anyone know what this fitting is called and/or why it leaks out of the bottom when everything is connected? It has a small hole underneath where you screw it together and what looks like a seal inside.

Just a guess, but that looks a lot like the fitting between my shower knob fitting and the hose going out to the handheld shower head. Had a small hole like that that I assumed was the flow regulator.

it came from exactly that spot, I just can't figure out what to call it or how to find a new one. Mine just started leaking out of nowhere from the small hole and it's getting behind things.

It's a RV Shower Faucet Vacuum Breaker

Looks like the internet led me to a mobile home / rv shower vacuum breaker. Now to track down the part.

Thanks for the help!

Mine split and started leaking. Looked for one, realized that I simply had to buy another $20 knob set. Could not find that single part alone anywhere.

Glad I saw this thread. I noticed the vacuum breaker leaking this past weekend and promptly forgot about it after we got home.

Here's one on Amazon
Valterra Vacuum Breaker for RV shower

shower diverter is what I have called it

If it started leaking. I wonder if the issue is a build-up of lime deposit inside the fitting. Would soaking it in vinegar, Iron Out, or CLR dissolve the lime and make the fitting usable again?
