Coolant leak from this thing

[HiImBrian]

I have a coolant leak from what I can only assume is a sensor of some sort. I just need to know what it is so I can replace it. It's on my 4.6L. Here's the video:

It's a link to a video on photobucket.

Heater shut off; heater bypass valve.
It shuts off the coolant flow to the heater coils.

Thanks! Do you know if there are any curveballs I should watch out for while replacing it or is it as straightforward as I think it is?

Pretty straightforward. Just mark the hoses to make sure you get them back on in the right locations. There may be 4 hoses connnected to this.

It flows into the valve and out directly into the firewall. The valve will be marked with a flow direction.
