I just replaced my thermostat and now the fan runs almost all the time. The gauge is on "A" in normal. The low coolant light came on today.
I must have a leak somewhere and I can't find it. I just filled the radiator 2 days.
ago.
Any suggestions why the fan is running and why am I going through so much coolant?
I know I have a pinhole leak in my radiator. It might have gotten bigger. But no puddles on garage floor.

The fan may be on more depending on what thermostat you used. I replaced mine last August as well and noticed it ran much warmer than usual, hence the fan running more. Turns out there is a 180 degree one and a 192 degree one. I got the 192 degree one. Seems to be ok (especially now cause it's cold), but I'll have to wait and see what happens when the 100 degree days arrive next July. As for the coolant leaking, did the tube where the t-stat is completely seal? Did the round rubber gasket fit properly on the new 'stat? Also, is everything tightened enough (seems stupid and obvious, but ya never know).
