WTF is this?

Vehicle in question is an 81 Toyota pickup.

What is this, why is it bleeding coolant and what do I do to fix it? Do I even need it? Just replace it or can I plug it off or what?

First you must describe the general location or device that is spewing coolant.

Where is the coolant coming from? Engine? Hoses? Radiator?

Sorry guys, forgot to attach the picture the first go round and my pc is a little ****tarded so it took me a while.

The picture shows the intake manifold, near the thermostat housing.

It looks like temperature sending unit but I don't know shiat about Toyotas

Temp sender or something along those lines..Looks broken?

hard to tell for sure where it is seeping from, either the temp sensor is broken and leaking internally or it is loose possible stripped out, i suggest draining a little coolant out of it, take it out clean the sensor and the hole thread it back in start it up and see were it is seeping from

Well what my truck is set up to use as the temp sending unit is farther toward the front of the truck on the manifold, pretty close to the fuel pump.

Looks like a temp sender w/ the top busted off. If there are no hangings wires in the area just plug the hole.

yep, both are temp sending units, mines actually plugged into the hole w/ the plug and has the plug where yours is

I got nuthin' on the unit behind the fuel pump, but thanks for letting me know wtf that 1 was:awesomework::redneck:
