The T-statu housing seams to be two (three if you include the t-stat cover) pieces that are "glued" together. In my case, the seam facing the intake manifold began to seperate. You really couldn't see a leak at idle but as you revved the coolant would spurt. Removing/replacing this part is a nussance and that is why I suspect SupaB was gonna get hit so hard in the wallet. It is doable without removing the intake manifold, but it is a very, very tight fit. If you are leaking, Do everything you can to isolate/locate the leak first. If you cannot, I would suggest ordering an o-ring online first and make sure this isn't the cluprit. You will be able to use the o-ring again if you have to replace the housing. Check the lip of the t-stat cover and make sure there aren't any chips or grooves in the lip that may be permitting the leak, since you will remove it to replace the o-ring. If the above fails, then the housing may be the next logical step. Removing the alternator will give you some added room, though physically removing the housing without removing the manifold will be difficult and be careful with the sensors so you don't mangle a wire. There are two.</blockquote>
