Leaking coolant

I put in the 203* thermostat and changed my coolant a few weeks ago, and its been leaking ever since, it must be the thermostat housing??? where is the best place to buy one?

Be sure it's leaking from the t-stat housing. When I did the flush & fill (with Rotella ELC) my pump finally gave up the ghost (@140,000miles). If it's coming out the weep hole, you'll probably not be able to see it except for where it's dripping off your harmonic balancer. Swapping out the water pump is actually pretty easy, just make sure you get/borrow/rent the proper tools for removing the fan.
