Heated up again and I noticed coolant smell. I let it set and waited until the daylight to get a good look. Now I can tell the issue.. The thermostat housing is leaking at the o ring seal where the upper and lower pieces of the housing connect. From my looking around it looks like I can't get to the lower housing without the manifold coming off.. So doubt I'll be attempting it. Unless... It is possible to get to the O-ring with having to take off the lower housing. I'm not talking about the t-stat o ring, this one sits below where you drop the t-stat in. It's worse on the backside but I can see where it's trying to seep all the way around. I've been calling around and got a quote of 418.00. That's to replace the whole housing. Does this sound fair? That's the closest shop to me, besides a dealer, and I cant be driving the Trac far in it's condition. Anyone been through this? Any advice? Thanks in advance.</p></blockquote><p></p>
