It's not the thermostat housing, it's coming from where the hose attaches to the housing. I'm pretty sure it's not thermostat. It was removed but properly re sealed. I know i should have got it skimmed but I didn't, but fitted a genuine gasket this time as I heard they seal well. Would a head gasket testing kit show if the head needed skimming? I do also have a spare good head if it came to it. It runs fine I've driven it hard a few times and done a fair few miles since and it seems fine, just a tiny bit of coolant coming out from where the rad hoses come off the engine got me worried
They are standard hoses with standard clips, anyone had issues with these before?
