2002 Ford Focus - What is this part called?

Hey guys. What is this part called? It's on the back (transmission) side of the engine. It is leaking massive amounts of coolant from the bottom. It has coolant hoses going in & out from a few directions.

I don't even know what this part is called. If it has a shot gasket or something, I wouldn't even know what part to ask for.

Thermostat housing. They are plastic and like to crack and break internally.

Thanks for the quick reply. I went and picked up the part ($50) with a new thermostat inside with gasket. A few busted knuckles and dropped bolts later, I got it fixed.

I should have thought about taking a photo of the bad housing. Pieces of plastic disintigrated on the part that attaches to the head where the fluid enters.
