Hi
07 ranger xlt 4x4 auto trans 4.0 v6
I have a coolant leak by the thermostat, looks like it's leaking by the horizontal seam in the middle of the plastic housing.
What do you think is the right fix for this, do I need to change the whole housing?
Or is it just an O-ring kind of problem?
I think changing just the thermostat only needs the air duct to be removed, is there more disassembly work required to change the housing too ?
Finally what coolant should I put back, I believe oem spec is yellow but will universal work just as well?
Thanks
