    Still have a rear window to fix as the cable broke on the regulator, abs trac lights are on, and the AC is not working, only blows hotter than hell air at all settings. AC compressor IS running and has a decent charge. Well, winter is almost here so that isn't too much of a concern at this point.
    theres just an o ring for the t-stat housing, no gasket, the leak might be the LIM gasket or in your case (gt) the UIM gasket.

    abs and tract ligts on is a bad wheel speed sensor, so find someone witha techII scanner that can diagnose which one it is and replace that wheel bearing.

    Leak is definetly coming from the t-stat housing. Weird mine had the o-ring AND a traditional gasket. When I replaced the t-stat I just used the o-ring only. I can see the coolant seeping from the housing so guess I will add another paper gasket as well.

    Yeah it is recommended that you use both. Some GPs came with both, not sure what years tho. My 97 came with both.
