Subject:leaking thermostat
From:craig cowan

I added some "Gasket Maker" to the lower thermostat housing (1.9
engine), buttoned everything back up (with a new thermostat and O
ring), and torqued the bolts to 7nm (as the bently sudgested, though
this seems very low). And yet, i have a very consistant drip of
coolant from the lower thermostat housing in the area of one of the
bolts. Does anyone have any sudgestions for a good way to stop this
leak? I'm running out of options and patience.
