Default Re: Where the hell did that come from?

Hi GK, no mate, the only washer in the thermostat is the seal that goes around the thermostat itself. I've identified the washer as what Ronwest picked, a garden hose washer. I checked it against another one from a garden hose so that's confirmed. What I'm still trying to figure out is how the washer contributed to the coolant loss in the first place seeing as there is no discernible leak anywhere. That being the case then the only logical conclusion I can come up with so far is it must have been forced out the overflow.
