I put a dye into the AC system and was able to trace the leak just underneath the vehicle. I'm not sure the name of the tube but from what I see an evidence of a yellow dye showed is coming out from the tube. In your professional opinion what do you think is the problem and is this something that I can fixed? Is this expensive if I take it in to the shop?

That looks to me to be your evaporator drain tube. Indicating that your evaporator will nee replacing. These jobs can be pretty pricey in most models. Not because of the part but because of labor. You usually have to remove the dash in order to service it.
