3.4l v6

Hose clips onto a metal thing that screws in, looks like where it screws in is leaking... trying to find the part online but can't seem to find it, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't even know what to call it, not super mechanically inclined, usually just take stuff apart and put it back together, don't know names and what not so hard to find the part I suppose.

New hose or tighten/replace the hose clamp? How bad is it leaking?

It's not the hose clamp, it's where the thing that the hose is clamped to screws in on the other side. Can't really see it in the picture, but its just above the water pump, and under all the crap blocking the view.

It's leaking bad enough to where I cannot put it off.

Does the hose come from your lower?

Thermostat?

If it's leaking where the hose is tighten try using an alligator hose clamp

Check the thermostat housing for cracks, if it's cracked at all you need a thermostat housing.. and while you're in there, you might as well replace the tstat.. If it's not, take off the thermostat housing, replace the tstat and put on a little rtv gasket, or honda bond and tighten back up the housing snug.

Google these terms.
