gday all. Today I pressure tested my cooling system in my 2.8 gu. It seems it be holding 12psi fine although iv seen some weeping where the top radiator goes into the top of the head. Is this the thermostat housing? any help would be great

From memory the thermostat is underneath the injector pump on the block.

thanks mate iv just checked and it acually is on the bottom rad hose from what I can gather. iv got a day trip planned for tomrow do you think the car will be ok to drive seeing as its only a small weep? I plan to fix it asap monday though. Bit of a bummer than its 7.20 sat night otherwise I would have fixed it today while I was changing all the coolant hoses.

Weeps usually turn into big leaks from my experience.
