All I did was change the thermostat and o-ring. Now I have a coolant leak on the right forward side of the car. It seems to leak only when its cold. I have to refill the coolant bottle every couple of days. The low coolant warning light comes on during acceleration when its time to fill it up again. Guess the next thing to do is have the system pressure tested. What could cause a leak after doing such a simple task?
