[Roadsters] Coolant leak

[Gordon Glasgow]

On my U20 I use the stock paper gasket with a !very! thin coating of Hylomar gasket sealant on both sides. 

I also have an external ground wire from the thermostat housing so the temp sender doesn't have to depend on that stupid staple in the gasket.

Group, 

During my pre-flight inspection of silver for this up and coming weekend's 
twistie road run I noticed a small amount of coolant below the front of the 
engine. It appears that the thermostat housing (I've never removed it)is 
leaking at the head to housing surface. The housing was installed using a 
liquid gasket material and not a hard gasket. I plan on removing the housing 
and am wondering if the liquid gasket or hard gasket is preferred? Brand or 
material choice information is appreciated. 

Thanks 

Steve Harvey
