Best to just replace it. This should be what you need.

It'* a common failure. Also a cheep fix. Better then doing the heads first.

Those elbows can be found at most parts stores on the floor.

Don't worry about a head gasket I've only heard of coolant leaks from 3800 heads after the motor has been severely over heated.
