Noticed small water spots on the driveway under the front end of the Jeep a few days ago. Didn't think anything of it. Saw it again this morning so I decided to open the hood up and... (pictured below).

Dealer wants $670 to replace. Anyone know how much a typical mechanic shop might charge? I really don't want to do this myself.

EDIT: Looking at the parts diagram... is it possible it's just my thermostat leaking in the picture?

Does anyone know what the latest model number is for the water pump if that's the cause? Most sites seem to show 53022340AC or RL022340AC, but most are re-manufactured... seems like Crown Automotive also makes an aftermarket replacement with this part number?

I don't think so. The rusted bolt is 1 of 2 attaching the upper radiator hose to the water pump or thermostat (not sure). Here is a picture I took today, just above the location with the rusted bolt. The area in the first image from yesterday was not wet this morning, but this new area was. There was a drop of liquid in the seam right before I took this picture. I touched it, and it was absolutely orange coolant.
