Default coolant leak front of block

was about to start cleaning up the car for a show when i notice coolant all around the front of the engine. its coming from the big hose thats right infront of the fan at the top.

it looks like the gasket is just corroded i havent turned the car on yet though, figured i'd post here and see where you guys think its leaking from since i dont know what its called.

yea just had my neighbor check it out.. first thing he said is thermostat housing.

dosnt even look like the t-stat is the problem, just the little gasket at the top looks like coolant is slowly seeping out. dosnt spray or even drip but u can see its slowely making its way through.

thanks pro
