Isn't that where the lower radiator hose slips on? There is no gasket or o-ring there; you need the correct hose in good shape, a clean surface, and a good clamp (or two) to prevent any leaking.
 
yeah there is no gasket there, i agree. Just clean it with fine sand paper and put a good clamp or two to seal it, that is if its not cracked or rusted to s@#t. Replace if that dosent help.
 
Brian's right. That's where the lower radiator hose slips OVER that fitting and seals with a clamp or two. If it had an o-ring in there then someone band-aided it, you either need a new lower radiator hose, a new clamp, or both.
