I Found A Coolant Leak HELP *PICS*

[Turbo92PGT]

Here is what I would do.

Get a new T-stat (10-15 bucks), a new t-stat gasket (under 5 bucks), the 2 intake manifold gaskets (50) and pick up a black rtv silicone too.
put the gaskets down onto the heads, and put a little silicone under them, right around the coolant ports front and rear. And put a little on top of them front and rear too. That way it will seal to the head better and to the manifold better.

Good luck! And then ofcourse new coolant 50/50

Looking at the pic of you T-stat location, looks like the threads might be stripped for the housing. How tight/loose were the bolts when you took them out?

real tight (i remembered to be careful with 'em) if you look at that last pic of the t-stat youll notice on the left side theres a gap, its the same way with the gasket below. so i think the coolant is going through the gap on the left side of the t-stat and going all the down the threads of the left bolt.
