I just fixed this on mine.  It is a plastic flange with an O-ring and a
bolt hole.
I don't have the part number handy.  I can dig it up if you need it, but
they can figure it out at the parts counter.
I recommend when you do this you also replace the plastic T fitting
which holds the climate control temp sensor.  It is a known failure item
and could result in a flatbed ride home if it lets go.  This T piece
connects via a short hose to the flange you describe.

I suppose you could just replace the O-ring, but I would (and did)
replace the whole thing.
