Leaking coolant at thermostat housing
I've been leaking coolant at the thermostat housing where figure#2 meets with figure#6. I noticed coolant driping from the bolts that hold these two pieces together. Could it be the thermostat having a bad O-Ring?
Please help.
Thanks.
Yes.

I would just do the whole job.. If you're going to replace the o ring you might as well do the housing gasket and thermostat
^^^ What he said. Yeah dude, buy a new thermostat, they're like 13 bucks and get a gasket for the thermostat housing.
Yeah Im definetively gonna get a new gasket and thermostat then. Could I get the gasket any Pep Boys or is this part only sold directly from the dealer?
I'm pretty sure you can find them in autozoneOriginally Posted by littlejuanito
felpro makes one that costs almost as much as the damn thermostat itself.. lol
Well after replacing the thermostant, which also had a worn out O-Ring, I came to realize that the Thermostat case Assembly (Fig.6) had a pin needle size leak in it. I ordered this part from the dealer.
Has anyone else ever changed this part before?
i had a little hole on the part too! its where fig5 connects to fig6.
i put jb weld and let it dry overnight. also, i had to stick a bit of plastic tubing inside the opening to stop the jbweld from sinking into the hole. The next day i snapped out the plastic tubing, sanded a bit and replaced everything. so far so good. now if only i could figure out whats causing my p0300 codes but thats a different thread.
good luck man
Thanks Ziploker
