coolant leak

I have a coolant leak on the right side of the engine. It looks a gasket at the block above the a/c compressor. (sorry not more specific, found it this morning while in a hurry). I was wondering if this is where the thermostat is located and if it is should I change it while I am in there. Also anybody got any suggestions on where to get the gasket (or make it myself) and what the part # may be? Thanks.

I had to go to another store to get the gasket and it was $5.00. When he pulls it out he will see that you can't make one.
