Question Coolant is leaking from the "thermostat housing" area.

Guys,

I just found out that my SC400 had a coolant leak this morning.
By looking at those picture below, could anybody tell me the cause of this problem?
Is it just a gasket by the "housing" - water inlet?

I checked the hoses and they were all fine, but I couldn't find the source of the leak.


Thank you,

Dom

My housing actually had a crack in it or it might be loose?

If its not the gasket of thermostat, then you might need a new housing.
