Default Coolant leak

It's just one thing after another with this car now. Just found out I had a coolant leak after discovering a nice puddle of it after parking for a few minutes. We've been working on it all day yesterday and discovered a leak coming from the belt tensioner, the little elbow piece going into it. Would I have to replace the whole tensioner or would replacing just the elbow piece be enough? The coolant is coming from where the elbow piece goes into the tensioner under the alternator.

Here is a picture of what I'm talking about. It's not very good because it was 10pm, etc.

Theres 3 bolts that hold on that alternator bracket, take them all off and replace both of those elbows. Its a good idea to put some red rtv on the ends too.
