Default Coolant leak

I was doing an oil change today and decided to take the pan off the bottom of the car just to do an inspection.
I've been smelling coolant intermittently and thought I'd see if there were any leakage signs. Well sure enough there
was. Looks like it's leaking down a small hose that runs under the thermostat but I am unable to determine the exact
origin of it. I don't think it's coming from the thermostat though.

Has anybody had a coolant leak from this area before and if so what did it take to fix it? Thanks!

Thanks strikeraj! I just read through your thread. Looks like I'll order up a thermostat and housing for starters and then dig into it from there.
