Post Coolant Leaking from Valve???

I have a 98 Explorer and steam was coming from under the hood. Upon investigation I found coolant leaking from a valve controlled by a vacum line that has at least 3 heater type hoses going into it. It is on the upper part of the engine compartment on the passenger sude... Anybody know what this valve is called?

Please drop me an email steve@firejax.com. It doesn't look like it would be to hard to replace if I can get one at a local parts store. I just need to know what it is... Thanks

Never mind, It was the heating control valve, about $20 at NAPA. R&R in about 10 minutes.
