Q: I think its my thermostat. Everything is ok until i turn the car off thrn i lose like a quart or more. You vsn see it coming out.W
I need a starter first also, but I'm wondering if it's my thermostat that needs replaced, I heard they were made with plastic. Well anyways before my starter went out the car drove fine until I turned it off soon as I did I'd lose like 2 quarts of fluid of not more. But as long as it was running no leak everything good.
