Hey guys, I found a coolant leak from my thermostat housing two weeks ago. I bought a new housing because it had one of those chrome jobs on it. I replaced the thermostat, housing, and hoses, but when I fired it up, it started leaking again in the same area, maybe worse. So, I took it apart, bought another gasket, and used a ton of rtv because there was a ton on there before. My thought was maybe the intake has some imperfection I’m not seeing. I let the rtv cure for two days this time. When the thermostat opens it leaks. I’m at a loss and at my wits end as to what to do. No matter what, I’m going to have to take it apart and put another gasket in it. What can I do to stop it from leaking? I’m moving two hours away and I’d prefer not towing it. Pics of before I pulled and this morning. Should I put the old housing back on and try that?
