    The picture is of the thermostat housing. Yes it does have a gasket and seal. You may be able to get away with it by undoing the unit and gasket sealing it all back up. Look very carefully in case the thermostat housing has got a small crack in it or the hose has'nt pinched up and split by the clip.
