Coolant leaking from thermostat?
I have a 2004 Ford Explorer Sports Trac. How much would it cost to get this fixed at an auto shop? Is it simple enough to do at home? I'm not very car savvy.
Added (1). Well I took it in to one auto shop and they said the thermostat was leaking and needed to be fixed and that it'd cost me $300. That seems like a lot of money just for a leak? So I wasn't sure.
I can help you, give me 20 min and I'll be back.
Just ask them what part you need and search it online yourself and order it then take it to them and only pay them for the work.
Coolant leaks because they reused the same gasket(instead of a new one) Thermostats never leak as they are totally in the fluid under the thermostat housing.

- Coolant leaking from strange hole under alternator, what is supposed to go there? My 97 Ford Taurus is leaking coolant from that hole but I don't know what is supposed to connect there.
- 2002 ford taurus coolant bubbling out of coolant tank cap? Coolant is bubbling out of the tank cap on my taurus. The coolant is a bit over the fill to line. The coolant is the normal green color. I don't think it having a bit of extra coolant in the tank is doing this. The cap itself maybe? I just bought this car and it didn't do this until today.
- I have a 95 ford mustang that is leaking oil and coolant both appear to be separate leaks? The engine is a 3.8L v6. The car is difficult to start, usually on the 5th try it starts. After long periods of driving it stalls out and has to sit for a couple hours. It has a new TPS and a new idle air control valve and just had the oil changed
