I need to know if the cooling system "joint" pictured below is threaded into the other parts. Mine is leaking (but bandaged) and I will be ordering the joint and the o-rings. When I pull it apart, I need to know if there are any other gaskets I need to worry about, or can I just simply replace these 3 parts?

I live in Hungary, so having a surprise need for a gasket means the bike will be down for another 30 days until the part arrives. I'm trying to get everything I need all at once.

 
It's a press fit. Recommend to use a bit of silicon sealant and fit the pump side first and then push it in the thermostat housing. This is if you are also removing the pump from the block. If not you need to do it opposite and press it into the pump last while having to remove the thermostat housing to have the extra slack.
 
You can use sealer but I have not ever found the need for that. Just the new orings
