So, i have the car listed above, currently not driving it due to this issue. So, my thermostat is leaking coolant right where the little tube meets the thermostat. The thermostat was replaced approximately 2 1/2 years ago due to the same issue. What can i use to fix this issue? Now there's no other leaks besides this one from what i can see.

Hello,

The thermostat housing is made from plastic.
These housing are very common to crack.
I would suggest replacing the thermostat housing again using OE parts if possible.
You often find that cheap aftermarket parts do not last, as they are made using inferior materials.

Cheers, Boris
