It's not my thermostat I have a 2006 Mustang GT my thermostat sits in front of the motorCenter of pic is thermostat housing. Nice it's not plastic.

Thank you so much! I've looked online and literally couldn't find anything on this. My local part stores don't even sell any high temp o rings so I'll order online.Yes, that is the bleed plug for the coolant system on the coolant crossover pipe. Make sure you are using the correct o-ring material and size for an ethylene glycol based system (though any rubber based o-ring should be fine really). Are you sure the o-ring isn't getting chewed up when you are installing it?
Stole this from a BMW site awhile back. This is a chemical compatibility chart for o-ring materials and ethylene glycol based coolants. Anything with a 4 beside it the most chemically compatible. The guy that posted this said he has had the best luck with Teflon coated silicone or silicone O-rings since they are the toughest.
