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?

    have you replaced the seal?

    could be the housing is warped and needs replacing

    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.
