Coolent Leak

The past few days my golf has been going thru coolent like no tomorrow.
After 10mins of looking today I have found the issue :smiley
Does anyone have the part number for the lovely rusty item in the picture so I can resolve the issue

Thanks
Thrash
Edit: should have said, its an ABF and the location if the item in the pic is just under the inlet mani

That's the main water flange, it's is the one at the front isn't it?
part number is 037121132J flange with gasket, I would also advise to get the three bolts (M6x22 p/n N 90280901), with all that leaking going on they might be well rusty. If you don't want to buy from VW then just go and get flanged hex head M6x20 bolts like these:

.
Don't make the mistake of buying stainless ones though, they might not rust but your engine will.

np, just found the part online, even better VW genuine one for 12£ :

in addition you'll also need the gasket 027121139A (~3£ from same site), forgot about that (my 8v's only have an o-ring).
