Likely, two dissimilar metals and ones begun to corrode. May be specifically a dealer item only and if no longer available, you may have to consider removal of said elbow pipe, tapping it with a fitting and creating your own connection to remedy the situation.. otherwise you could possibly find another elbow off another vehicle but from my experiences, those are never fun to try and remove and or without damaging it in the process.
Other thoughts would be to RTV as you said or JB weld it but eventually as its begun the corrosion process, it may be a month or 10 months but that leak will spring up again as it rots away.
Does that portion of the block it sits in separate from the block or is that all apart of the original casting? hard to tell with that pics resolution and I'm using a 50" monitor for viewing.. lol
