looks like a gasket issue... easy warranty fix.

The plate is the bracket to hold the heat exchanger. It uses the the thermostat bolts to mount to the engine, on top of a different thermostat housing. There is a gasket under the thermostat housing, but make sure the coolant is not leaking from the hose clamp (feed line from exchanger), and check the tightness of the bolts before replacing the gasket.
