I've had a coolant leak for almost a year now. I took it back to the mechanic in February and they replace the intake gasket under warranty. I still have a leak and they said I should maybe try replacing the thermostat housing. Anyone have this problem? If you look in the photo you can see where its pooling. It doesn't really look like its coming from the thermostat housing to me but I could be wrong.

mine pooled there too, it was the temp sensor in the housing. could be the housing as well.

Good to know! It looks like its on the opposite side so I wasn't sure

it hits the pump housing and rolls down into there, and splashes a bit. I was getting the same. there is an easy way to check, put in a fitting into the intake water port, that had that pipe plug, and put on a little air pressure. 15 psi or less.

my vote is the water pump/timing cover
