small coolant leak

I found a small leak on the lower side of the water pump. It is at the two bolt flange where a 90 degree tube comes off and goes to the lower hose.

My dealer wants $72.00 for the elbow part. Anyone know of any cheaper out there?

I am also going to change the thermostat to a 203 with a new billet neck.
Any experience with te 203 stat? (from Diesilsite)

If it's leaking at the flange drain the cooling system and pull the hose off and remove the flange there's a o-ring in there.Mine was leaking and I got a replacement o-ring and a little RTV bolted it back up no leak.
