Thermostat housing....
By them in bulk my man.
The focus goes through them like toilet paper. And DPFE sensors... And rear wheel bearings... And wiper switches... And master cylinders... And rocker cover gaskets...

I replaced my t-stat housing with an older style Contour one - much beefier and better fastening system.

the prestone stuff i put in stoped the leak. It hasnt lost any coolant since I put it in. I am shocked at how good it works. Plus its been well over 30 degrees here so its been a good test. But yea defenitly going to repalce the thermostat and valve cover gasket soon though.
