If this is the piece right in the front center of the engine, they are very notorious for those leaking. That consisted of a whole pipe that runs under the intake manifold. You have to get the part from the dealer.

On a 01 2.7 intrepid the thermostat is located on the side of the engine the hole I am refering to is just under it I'm guessing it is a weeper hole for the water pump I hope I'm wrong
