This just may be my next step, but the indications are still that the water outlet gasket is leaking. I may just try again with a new gasket and rtv but leave it to cure overnight before I tighten the housing down. I'll check both surfaces for flatness this time. Any ideas? Two gaskets maybe?

if you are sure that you are leaking from stat housing assembly, then there must be a reason why. is there a crack, is the housing warped, or maybe the surface is scratched. you said the res goes down a 1/4" each day. how many miles is each day? |

It is a 32 mile roundtrip commute approximately. |

So, is that just the O-ring? I'll put some RTV on the gasket as well when I throw it back together. John |
