Tone, The theromstat I picked up from Pep Boys looks almost identical to the one you posted, only difference is that the bottom of your picture seems to be a bit more of an angle. It appears to be at about a 55 degree angle,whereas mine is more at a 45 degree angle. Maybe its the way the pic was shoht at that made it look different. Everything else seems to look exact! Furthermore , I went and read the posts on the manifold as you suggested, yet none seemed the same as my problem....Is it possible that the thermostat is causing the minor drip at times ,due to a backup of antifreese? Remember ,some hoses wont get hot to the touch while another will. I hope Im making sense so that you will understand....thx, Bruce
