It was the whole inside of the plastic thermostat housing.  It has like 6 coolant hoses going to it.

First let me ask, is there a plastic part in a thermostat? Which part is it?

I went to replace the thermostat today because i thought it just cracked.  Well, it apparently the plastic was deteriorated from the inside out and ate through the side of it.  I had been using Zerex G-05. What caused this?
