Looking for advice like torque values, if to use any additional sealant with the gasket, and how much coolant do I need to expect to replace.

​​​​Ideally the vacuum tool will be the best but you can also use the manual bleeding method.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a slight coolant leak coming from this part. I have ordered a new cover and gasket that comes with it that should be here in the next day or so. This is next to the bell housing on the passenger side of the motor. Has anyone had any experience replacing this? Looking for advice like torque values, if to use any additional sealant with the gasket, and how much coolant do I need to expect to replace. I'm also a little confused if I need to vacuum bleed the cooling system for this repair. Or can I just top off the coolant and pop the bleed valve on the expansion tank.

POST 2Original post

No extra sealant. It should come with a built-in rubber gasket. If not, you need a new gasket. A few gals of coolant will gush out. ​​​​Ideally the vacuum tool will be the best but you can also use the manual bleeding method. It takes a lot longer and you need to be careful watching the temp. Th​​​​e torque should be 7.5ftlb (or just hand tight) if memory serves.
