So I replaced literally every hose and connector. Leaks were all over the place and I fixed them one by one. One particularly frustrating issue I had was that the new thermostat housing and hose connector above it (which has sensors in it) were leaking, both the old ones and the new ones. I figured out I needed thread sealant for the bolts. But that did not fix the other connector located on the other side of the block. It has 2 tubes for hoses, one that goes straight up and one that goes straight down. It was leaking from the tube that actually fits into the block, though. So I went ahead and put the new one in and used thread sealant on that bolt too. But unfortunately it's still leaking. This new connector did not come with an o ring of any kind and there wasnt one on the old one. What am I doing wrong? This van has been so frustrating and now my landlord is getting pissy that I'm not able to fix it. I torqued the bolt down enough and did not use any sealant on the part that goes into the block although the shop manual isn't much help at all with this. |

Which hoses are you talking about? the ones at the oil filter housing? Picture? |

That coolant fitting with the two hoses should have an o-ring on it. |
