[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 742834, member: 52972"] You should only need to replace the thermostat and gasket. However, when you have a leak, it's always best to have the system pressure tested with a dye in your coolant...That takes all the guess-work out of it. If a sensor is leaking at the base but is working otherwise, you should just be able to put a little sealant on the threads and screw it back in. If your Sport Trac has the original hoses and belts, you should replace them. They start to go bad in 3-5 years...beyond that they are living on borrowed time and can easily leave you stranded on the side of the road...or worse ...Rich [/QUOTE]
