Was not getting a response in another thread so I thought I'd split this out. Been cleaning up the coolant leaks on a 95 FZJ80. Still have one left that I know of. I can't seem to find what the part number is. It is on the inside of the housing the thermostat is mounted into and on the outside of where the coolant outlet pipe drops into. The heater return line bolts to the top of that housing.
In the picture you can see it pooling on the housing behind the water pump where the outlet pipe goes into. That'd be the down pipe with the short inner pipe. All three orings were replaced in that. The red at the top of the coolant outlet pipe is not coolant, it is red assembly grease I used to lube the oring prior to install. A bit of it squeezed out. If you look at the block that the heater return pipe bolts to and that the thermostat is mounted on, on the side next to the coolant outlet pipe, it looks like it has been leaking. There is a line of dried coolant all along the top of that part at the seam (not sure what the part is called). That is the gasket that I have been looking for. Does anyone know the part number for that gasket on the opposite side of where the thermostat mounts? It looks like it should be square in shape.
