Default Need advise on two things

Where can I get a thermostat for a 1991 Diablo?

Is there a diagram of the driver's side radiator inlets on outlets for tubes. I cant tell if I have overflow coolant coming out or a development of a tube going bad.

do you have the parts manual, this gives a general idea. If you need the page let me know. Do you have coolant leaking under the right radiator ?

hope this helps, with the exhaust heatshield off you can probably see where it is coming from.

Well, i replaced the thermostat and tightened some tubes. I completely blead the lines.

So, after a half hour from driving, no leaking. Yahoo.
Thermostat replacement was cake. Coolant went everywhere.

Car runs between 85-90. Just took it for a short drive to test it and it stayed within that range. Before it would go to 100 C before the fans would kick on and then it would fluctuate between 95-100.

BTW, Thermostat price was $57. Gasket was $2.50.
