That is the water pipe from the water pump to the t stat housing. There is a small o-ring that fits over the top of the pipe itself. You will have to remove the t stat housing in order to remove the water pipe and o ring seal. Use a small amount of lubricant on the seal when you insert the water pipe into its housing to prevent the new oring from getting torn etc. Pretty easy fix. hth

Yeah, you are going to need to replace that o-ring.

It's a cheap fix, but a total pain in the *** because you have to remove all the hoses to get the water tube out of there.

iwould put in new water pipe O rings (theres one on each side) and all new coolant hoses. Its also possible that the water pipe has corroded enough to not allow the o ring to seal properly, but you wont know that until u take it apart.

I would make sure that is where it is leaking
by pressure testing it as there are several places
it could leak from...

There is a pic of the pipe here:

Get a cheap radiator pressure tester taht clamps on to the radiator cap inlet. Then just pump until you force a leak ( I don't know why that was funny to me)
