Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

Which gasket are you referring to? Also, here is a link that discusses the cooling system, how to check for leaks (if you have one) and how to replace a thermostat:

If the gasket you referred to is the head gasket and you suspect there is a problem with it, here is a link that shows how to check for a head gasket leak:

Let me know if there is something other that you are aware of. Also, if you have other questions or need additional help or information, feel free to ask.

Take care,
