My wife had spent the night at the hospital with her grandmother and drove the 'stang home Saturday morning. As soon as she got home I went out and got it up on ramps to change the oil. Under the car I got dripped on and wondered what in the heck...
Sure enough the wonderful PLASTIC thermostat housing was leaking. I could not wait until Wednesday or Thursday to get a metal one delivered so I go get a lifetime warranty replacement plastic one and do the job. Not a difficult repair, but dang....I did NOT expect to do all that and spend that much money.
Counting the new housing, coolant, silicone (because I just have a need to use it on pretty much every place water flows), oil and filter the cost was about $130.
On the bright side, I was able to get rid of the orange coolant someone had put in there.
