That picture was mine, it just needed a new thermostat as the old one broke and leaked coolant everywhere

i found the pic here sorry but i take it bec it similar to my problem , do you know how to fix this bec i don't thing the thermostat broken bec temperature of the car as usual normal no increasing, i think the leak between the engin and thermostat i was thinking to open the thermostat and putting silicon gasket their ,but the important how to open the thermostat is it necessary to remove the dyanmo self and belt ?or i can open it from down ??

It could be the thermostat seal if it's leaking , so you may as well change the thermostat at the same time as replacing the seal

ok thanks a lot for the post , tomorrow morning i will try to work on it from down and i will see what i can do for it .

yes it was the seal for mine that caused this aswell. New thermostat as well for mine. My cars temperature stayed the same as well because I guess I caught the problem out quickly enough

Hi, you could have a leaking core plug.
