Hi there,

You will have to take it back and get them to do a cooling system pressure test, this will locate the leak, they should have done this when they did the thermostat.

HI there,

This will depend on where the o rigs goes, as it will require the coolant being changed, or at least saved and re used, this may not cost a great deal.
