What is the name of the part that the metal brake lines go to that is on the driver side below the thermostat, close to the frame? It is leaking, but I don't know the name of the part.

The brake lines don't go anywhere near the thermostat. If you're looking at a brass block below the master cylinder, that's the combination valve. The two lines leaving the master cylinder go to it, and multiple lines go out to the wheels.
