Default Leaking near thermostat
I am getting a few drops leak out onto the spot in green every drive.
I think its coming out of the join at that pipe in red, but not certain. I cant see it as coming from the hose, and there is a bit of corrosion on that pipe - white corrosion (this is not a picture of my motor, just one I found on the net to use for illustration)

Anyone know what the deal is with the connection of that pipe?

Thanks!!! I was concerned about taking it apart to look in case I couldn't seal it up again.
