    Ok here I am with more problems. My thermostat bolt broke in half into the water jacket (I guess)& now I am looking coolant. Not alot of coolant, but It's probably about a bottle of coolant every 2-3 weeks & it only leaks while it running. I was wondering was there any temporary fix I can do just to stop the leaking, may be a sealant or something. I know I am going to have to drill it or something.

    But any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Try an easy out on the bolt and see if you can get it to come out.
