Coolant leak

I have a 1998 Toyota Camry LE, 4 cylinder with 100K miles on it.

Yesterday, I opened the hood of the car, and I noticed that there is hardly any coolant left in the reservoir. And I saw the coolant leak right below the starter motor. The coolant (pink color) seems to have been leaking for a while.

Does any one know what is that component that is sitting below that starter motor that is causing the coolant leak? And how to fix it?

thanks!

Suggest you look above the starter for leaks, do this with engine warm so the coolant system is pressured. The coolant is most likely dripping down and ending up under the starter. Perhaps a hose clamp is leaking. Keep in mind there are many hoses with coolant hoses, radiator, cabin heater, oil cooler, manifold heater.
