thomas56 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hi have noticed coolant level dropping in car for a few day. Traced leak to the thermostat but even after replacing thermostat and seal is still dripping around the area . Wondering has anybody else had a problem with a leak around this area and could it be the housing itself is at fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 have you replaced the seal? could be the housing is warped and needs replacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmaldon Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 If its a plastic housing, its the most likely cause of the leak. I thought the stat would have been part of the housing like most of the other Fords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
