Coolant leaking

[Forbez]

Got the beeping and flashing temp light today, had a look under the bonnet and I noticed a leaking of coolant from what I believe may, be the thermostat housing. (but im not sure)

In the picture below, on the left hand side, the black plastic connector, with the blue plug in it, thats where it seems to be leaking from.

Can anyone confirm if this in the thermostat housing?

I am trying to find a better picture.

That's the temp sender, the thermostat is near the alternator underneath the air intake mani. Where abouts is it coming out?
I believe that sealant needs to be applied where this unit meets the block. I currently have the same problem.

Its just leaking out of the bottom.

Temp sender you say, does it have an o ring on the fitment to the block?


As a temp measure, would it work using something like radweld?

 

[Forbez]

To point out, its not leaking out of the blue bit. Its where the black bit fits to the engine block.

It does have an o ring and can only be got from a stealership as it is a really awkward size. I don't know about rad weld.
