The gasket suface problably was not clean enough and or did you use sealant? Sometimes the thermostat does not sit in the housing properly, since the housung is bolted to the head on its side, good chace the thermostat slid a little bit..

Your 97 Ford Taurus is leaking coolant how do you find out what is the cause?
Let me tell basically the places it could be leaking. If it inside the car then the heater core is probably bad. Check the radiator, the top, and bottom coolant hoses. The bottom hose will coming from your water pump. The hoses or the water pump could be leaking (if the pump is leaking then it will have to be replaced). There is a thermostat that could leak if not properly installed. This will be located, under a housing, at the point your top hose enters the engine. There will also be two hoses going toward the fire wall. These are the in and out hoses for the heater core. Theses could also be leaking. You could always get a UV light kit and put dye in the coolant and trace it that way also. (This in my opinion is the easiest method.) Well, I hope you find it. Good luck.

I would check the hoses leading into your radiator, and also the overflow for antifreeze. If that is not the problem, it could be your heater core. Your heater core might be leaking, you might have a hose leaking

no, check the coolant reservoir 1st, if its full then after car is at operating temp. look underneath and see if any coolant or water is on the ground below the water pump if so the weep hole is probably leaking on the water pump check the componet if all check out it maybe the thermostat fairly enxpensive to replace so i would replace the thermostat and check the temp again but if the water pump is leaking it needs to be replaced
