Leaky t-stat housing

[Murf'n'surf]

I've noticed a leak somewhere around my thermostat. It leaks a cup or two of water every hour of running.

I can't tell exactly where it's leaking but appears to be the joint between the housings.

Thought I would see if anyone had prior experience before I start disassembling. I'm hoping I can clean the surfaces up and stop the leak but something tells me I am missing some mating surfaces ... Corrosion!

Looks like the salt water did all the work pointing out the location for you. I thought I remembered someone either having theirs leak, or the hose. I'll search for it and post if I find it.
