so i go out to the car tonight and i notice a green puddle under my car, after talking a look, it looks like it's comming from the thermostat housing.

now the question is..how hard is this to fix on my own?

The part is about $75 from dealer and it takes about an hour to fix yourself.

Follow these directions:

I was quoted about $500 from the stealership for them to fix it, so then I went to another dealer and bought the part for $75 and did it myself.

I just did mine last week.
Not too bad to do.
I'd say around a hour or so.

Mine's been done twice under the extended warranty. Its a common problem.

my sugestion for you is while you have eveything apart do the thermostat as well. that is what I did, yeah it will cost an extra $30 but then you don't have to do it later on.
