copper sheet/if the cylinder head is a small one
a cracked gasget could cause that
Yes, both.
you can use a carquest 84035 part number , its a little bit shorter , but same thread and gasget diameter
its mostly likely aluminum they get worn out get a new one
possibly the head gasget depending on mileage
oil pan gasget or it can be the vavel cove gasget. but if you wash the engain with egain cleaner to get the dirt and oil of it thatn run the enganin to see where the leak is. but becareful of the power stuf when you are washing the engain or you well have more problums
Try replacing oil filler cap.
Follow the upper radiator hose towards the engine, you could see the water inlet housing , use a 10 mm socket to remove the housing . here is your thermostat. Don't forget to replace the gasget.
Follow the top of the water pump hose. at the end of the hose you will see a houseing with two bolts that hold the therostat. clean both surfaces of dirt,old gasget. A flat putty knife is good for this, be careful not to cut into the metal, replace therostat and seal it helps to use a high temp sealent on both sides of the metal before installing the gasget. p.s. be sure to put the therostat in the way you took it out. Run engine and replace anti-freeze.
i had the same problem-yesterday i changed the gasget on the windsheild. seemed to work...
sometimes hoses and components such as heater units etc blow when the head gasget is on the way out
I have a 2000 e320, the oil filter gasget leaks just prior to the need to be changed.
