Past week my cooling level warning light goes on, so i checked the leak and the top of the thermostat housing is loose, i can move it with my hands, anybody knows how can i fix it? do i have to change the whole termostat housing? its a $220 piece here, without gasket.

thanks

Sir Sam had a thread on the thermostat and housing and had link to the service manusl with pictures. Looks like the two bolts came loose holding the housing to the head and blew the gasket. Here is Sir Sam thread link.

It's supposed to be one piece, I would check the bolts first.
