A coolant thermostat gasket seals the joint between the thermostat housing and the engine, so coolant passing through the thermostat stays in the system instead of seeping out at the housing. Signs this gasket may need replacing include coolant wetness or dried coolant residue around the thermostat housing and a coolant level that keeps dropping. If a leak at the housing joint is the cause of your coolant loss, this gasket replaces the seal at that joint. Diagnose the source of any leak before replacing parts.
