I had to change out the thermostat and gasket on Saturday. I had to go back to o'reilly twice, once for the wrong gasket they gave me, and the second time to get another gasket. I replaced the gasket the first time and sealed it up with blue rtv, started the car, and it was leaking at the bottom. So I pulled the housing off and replaced the gasket and with another one. I start it up and let it run for a bit, no leak. I went to work and back home today and the temperature gauge would just sit above the blue mark on the gauge. I said alright, it is running cold. I got home and popped the hood, and noticed it had a small leak on top of the housing. I had cleaned the surface so good, you could have eaten off of it. And wiped it clean. I have an extra gasket to change it out a 3rd time. Is there a special trick to do this?
