I stopped in to the Canadian Tire on the Queensway to pick up 2 jugs of coolant and then went across the street to Thorncrest Sherway to check how much a stat housing was.  $80.00!!!  I then went to service to see if this was covered under my extended warranty, it is!  "Sweet" I said.  Dave checked the history on the service I have had done there and it was done back in 2006 as well.  But they can't see it until tomorrow.  Now I have to crawl home on the DVP watching the guage the whole way.  Hopefully I can get home and back without cracking the head or something. 

The luck I have had lately is making me feel like I am going to have a major problem.  But the dealer told me to keep going.  I will put it on them if something else goes, like the head gasket.

Yea if they told you to drive it home I'd imagine they'd be liable.
When my wifes started leaking man it was crazy, it was just pouring out like crazy, thankfully, it happened on our driveway...
