When I got back from vacation, coolant was leaking from the water outlet gasket, so that needs to be replaced. :mad: Why I did not do this when replacing the hoses 4 months ago, I do not know.

Any tips, tricks, or recommendations to doing this? The service manual just says to disassemble, replace thermostat and gasket, and reassemble. Who needed the manual? Bolt specs maybe

Sounds too easy. Oreillys also has the parts in stock, too, for under 15 bucks. The dealer would prolly want 200+ for parts & labor.

The engine is starting to leak oil between the trans and engine now, so perhaps the car's days are numbered. :( ]]> Aurora Lady72nRob71 http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/aurora/18114-aurora-thermostat-replacement.html
