The plastic intake manifold on these cars often cracks near the thermostat housing as well. Also check the front of the intake manifold just behind the alternator for leaks. See more info here... http://www.autoclinix.com/Manifold.htm If the thermostat is stuck closed, it is possible that the water would back up and leak through the thermostat gasket. however, it would also make your engine overheat. If your engine is not overheating, then the leak is probably coming through a crack in the hose where it clamps to the thermostat housing.
