Default Assistance with coolant leak

Hey guys, got an AUII falcon 6cyl and it's had a coolant leak for a few years and i've been trying to get to the bottom of it.

Did a flush and put new fluid in it and now i can see where it is leaking out of:





There was a drop of coolant where my finger is, which i guess is where it ends up before it evaporates.



Can someone tell me what it is (thermostat??) and how i could go about fixing it.

It's a considerable leak.. Had the coolant on full after the flush and it lost about 1/2 a liter in a few days.

Also has anybody been able to get out the full 16 liters out? Could only get out around 9/10 liters even with the bleeding using heater.

Cheers.
