Default Antifreeze leaking around the throttle body?

On the driver’s side I can see it dripping from the throttle body onto the engine. I see there are two small hoses and replaced one that looked suspect but it’s still dripping away. There seems to be a small cast plate that both hoses connect to. Could that plate have a hole or crack in it? Anyone know what that part is called and if there available.

Thanks for the quick response. I take it this is a common problem for people to have?

welcome to rover, if it has a fluid in it it leaks. And even if it doesn't have fluid it will break down cause fluid will get on it.
