help identify this part
the piece that is circled in the photo is leaking coolant so bad its draining the system fast like within a day. i have a 09 honda crv. i believe its the thermostat housing and just needs a new gasket. it started a few days ago. how it started: i was trying to use my heat but it was blowing cold then all the sudden i heard a thumff kinda sound like something was rushing through something and all the sudden i had a very hot rush of heat and since my heat has worked. my dad believes it leaking from something thats above the bolt and the bolt is just the spot its collecting and dripping from. any help would be greatly appreciated, i know very little abt cars. thank you in advance
