Hello everyone. I just finished putting on a new radiator on my 1997 turbo 850, and started the car but before the engine reached operating temp I noticed coolant dripping on the floor. It appears to be coming from the thermostat housing. Most likely a cracked lower housing.
How do I remove the housing without stripping the torx bolts or the thread in the cylinder.
Is there a a video or write up for this job?

 

I was able to take out lower thermostat housing without breaking anything. I took off the power steering pump and bracket to gain more working space.

I have a lower thermostat housing if you need it. $11 shipped via USPS priority ship from Arizona. Send me a PM if you're interested.

 

Thanks Tryingbe, I already placed the order for the part and gasket.

 

Probably the thermostat seal. As for the housing, the manual calls for 2 gaskets.
