My car has been overheating but I couldn't find where it's been leaking. So, someone took out the thermostat, but it's still been leaking, and I barely used a pressure tester in it. In the video, I attached that's where I can see the coolant at but is it just the thermostat housing or something else also?

Hi,

Based on what I see in the video, it appears to be the thermostat housing gasket that is leaking. As far as the thermostat being removed, that doesn't always work. A new one, along with a new thermostat housing gasket should be installed.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

If you provide the engine size, I can get you the directions specific to your vehicle for replacement.

Let me know.
