The location of the leaking hose under the thermostat housing makes me very
suspicious of what you are describing. This hose is difficult to access which
makes it very likely that it is original to the car. Replacing this hose will
be next on my list.

Remind me where the shell is placed. Do I block open the top part of

I'd use the cathey trick to open the thermostat and see how it runs.
Until that is done, it is not much use talking about it.
Dimitri, congrats

Dimitri, congrats on the good compression engine. Test it with the
.45 shellint the thermostat
, the radiator, and
the temp sender but still the issue persists. Now I just ignore it although
a dose of water-wetter has helped stabilize it some.
