Default Antifreeze leak...

Today I noticed a smell coming from my car, and I looked and found some anti-freeze leaking from the connection where the radiator tube goes into the block. Is this just a gasket that I need to replace? Or is it a larger problem?
P.S. It's a D16Y7

It depends where its coming from. Sounds like the tube you're describing connects to the thermostat housing. Try making sure that the rubber hose is on all the way and take the clamp off and see if there's any cracks on the hose. if its coming from the thermostat housing, then the seal on the thermostat sprung a leak. I may be wrong though, because its been long since ive replaced a thermostat.
