Engine repair

Okay, so I replaced my thermostat in my '97 Thunderbird, I got the old gasket off, put a new one on with a brand new thermostat, but I'm leaking coolant so fast I have to put more in my car every two- three days. Any ideas on how to fix the issue? Grazie in advanced!

I'm sure if you look where your thermostat is located it's leaking fluid. It's probably not seated correctly.

Do you actually see a leak? Where is it from?

If you don't see a leak why did you replace the thermostat? Overheating can be caused by a blown head gasket and you won't get the old symptoms of a dead cylinder or coolant in the oil.

If you actually see a leak at the thermostat then get a new gasket and try again.

Thanks tbird.
