Ok this might make me sound like an idiot, but this is a real problem. So I was having problems with my thermostat, like it would overheat a little. So yeah I got a new gasket, and tested the thermostat, its fine. The last person had used gasket maker, that goo stuff, but ok. So I fixed it and put in the new thermostat gasket, and it was fixed. The original problem was it was leaking, and that is why it was going all crazy, cuz loss of pressure and yeah. The day after I look under the car to check for leaks, and its leaking again. I put more water, and now it doesn't leak as long as I don't drive the car. When it gets hot it leaks from the thermostat. I have only put water in there, no coolant cuz thats a waste right now. So what do u think I should do? I fixed it and it is still leaking. I don't understand how water gets through, how does it leak out where a gasket it?
