You installed a new thermostat and the car is still leaking antifreeze?

Presumably one of two things has occurred. Either you failed to glue the new thermosdtat into place before bolting the thermostat housing into place, or it wasn't the real cause of the leak. Check the engine coolant temperature sensor. More likely is a bad lower intake manifold gasket. These are a very common failure and very easy to replace. Do not forget to change the engine oil after you fix the leak and fill the radiator.

How do you diagnose overheating problems on a eclipse?
First thing you should check is the antifreeze level. If that is fine, replace the thermostat. If it still over heats after the thermostat, then most likely you need to replace the waterpump. If your antifreeze is low, check for leaks, the radiator, hoses, heater core, and water pump. If the water pump is leaking, that is your problem, replace that and thermostat all in one.
Why does 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 still leak antifreeze on cab floor after heater core replaced?
Residue from the prior leak, cracked the neck when installed, defective core. Any leaks on engine side of firewall leaking in somehow??
Why is your ford f150 still overheating after you change your antifreeze?
If your fanbelt is old, it may be slipping or loose. If so, replace it. Aaaaand, your thermostat could be stuck. Also Check to make sure that your head gasket is not leaking, the exause could be heating, and boiling your coolant.
Antifreeze leaks into the oil is vehicle still good?
You've got either a leaking intake gasket or a leaking head gasket. It's a serious problem which needs to be repaired.
Just did a radiator flush then put a new cap on radiator and installed a new thermostat antifreeze is still poring out of radiator cap what could be causing this?
Blown head gasket? Air trapped in the system (hasn't bled out yet)? Wrong cap?
If you have an antifreeze leak but no overheating can the cause still be the water pump?
yes, leaking coolant is what happens before the pump totally dies, then you have overheating and possible engine damage soon after the leaking.
Why cant a 1999 ford expedition get heat after changing thermostat antifreeze water pump still no heat?
heater core....
Can you drive a car leaking antifreeze when it is 0 degrees?
Yes, however, not recommended Your engine still needs coolant, hot or freezing outside.
Changed thermostat flushed radiator new water pump still getting hot and leaking radaitor is not getting hot could it still be thermostat?
I have a promblem with that too, my car would overheat very fast, it was a faulty NEW thermostat. It still runs hot, I think I need a new water pump
You had a pressure test on your car and the radiator and all hoses were replaced however its still leaking antifreeze?
Possible cracked block or a blown head gaskets.
Why a car overheats when driving but cools at idle?
check your fluids it is probably low on antifreeze and if it still does it change your thermostat that should fix the problem
What do i do the thermostat is opening the water pump is new but continues to over heat the heater core hoses get hot and the other hoses stay cold the housing gets hot but still overheating 2 5L s10?
The thermostat might be installed backwards. The thermostat will still work, but not as efficiently as if it were installed properly. It sounds like engine is still not receiving proper water flow. This is a common mistake.
