not normally, unless it was somehow getting the coil packs/distributer (don't know your year) wet and shorting them out.
If the thermostat was not installed correctly, the housing can crack but it would leak engine coolant not oil.
A crack near or on the thermostat housing can cause a coolant leak in a 1996 Grand Marquis. The thermostat housing is located near the manifold on this vehicle.
Any coolant leak can cause an overheat.Any coolant leak can cause an overheat.
If you have coolant on the top of the engine it could be a leaky thermostat housing or a leaking intake gasket.
Yes it can. A faulty thermostat can cause overheating which will cause coolant to be pushed out of the system.
* Thermostat housing not secured tightly * Gasket damaged or not put on properly * No gasket sealant(Permatex, etc) applied to gasket * Radiator hose not secured tightly
A faulty thermostat in a 2001 BMW 325CI can cause a coolant leak. The coolant may be leaking out a crack in the thermostat or through a warped edge. In some cases the problem may be just a bad gasket and not actually a problem with the thermostat at all.
no. but tightening wrong or the lip of the thermostat trapped under the housing causing un even pressure on housing sure will.
No.
I think you may be referring to coolant leaking from engine? engine coolant or water can leak from any coolant hose or heater hose, waterpump, thermostat housing etc, wurse case the head gasket is leaking coolant externally, need a pro to check it out
The coolant sensor moniters the coolant temperature. A faulty thermostat could cause the engine to run cool.
the thermostat will be under the THERMOSTAT HOUSING, which is where the TOP radiator hose fits on ie(radiator to thermostat housing) this keeps the engine at an OPTIMUM temperature BUT can be A cause of OVERHEATING IF malfunctioning
