Could that be it?

Yep it certainly can be, but more likely IMO the o-ring inside the Thermostat. I had a leak too after fiddling with the pre-filter(yours looks pretty dark may want to change it while your at it) which I guess moved the thermo's nipple enough to cause it to leak. Its a very simple, cheap fix. Depending on where you live, you could bypass it for now(warmer climates) or order the parts and fix it, if its cold where you are I would. OFC R&R any old lines while you are in there as well. Here is the link I found to fix this.
