Happy holiday all, A brief follow up on my coolant leak. After replacing the coolant tank that ruptured. I still had a small leak. My be a bout an ounce or two over night. The location of the puddle was driver side and yes right under the head seal. I could not find any trail of coolant. I was fearing the worst, head replacement time but was not willing to go at it until I knew 100% for sure. I spent several evenings just laying there trying to locate the green trail but no luck.( my wife now knows that I am nuts without a doubt) Just getting ready to spend more quality time under the van when I saw the drip. waited 10 min and it was there again. Lo and behold it was leaking from the thermostat housing. Specifically the "O" ring for the temp II sensor !!!!!!!!!! Thanks to you all for your suggestions and prayers.
