Sounds like a failed thermostat housing.

Is it leaking from the bleed plug at the top of the thermostat housing?  Or from the temperature sensor?

If it is leaking between the housing and the cylinder head, the  housing may be warped or the seal is compromised.

In any case, replacing the thermostat housing should fix the problem.  If you call or email us with the last 7-digits of the vin number, we can steer you towards the correct housing and whether you need an adapter or not.
