Brent,

I know..... and I had the same problem, and that was my fix. Coolant leaks past the threads, follows the bolt past the gasket, exits at the head of the bolt, and a tiny drip appears at the bottom of the thermostat housing.... looks like a gasket problem, but.......

I guess if you globbed enough rtv or permatex on both surfaces of the gasket, some would get squeezed out and along the bolt to seal it, but putting some on the threads first will get it right the first time.
