What could be causing the coolant leak in my Chevrolet Cruze's thermostat housing?

If you find that the thermostat housing in your Chevrolet Cruze is leaking, it likely means that the thermostat is damaged or worn out. Unfortunately, there's no simple fix for this issue other than replacing the entire thermostat. Sometimes, the problem may just be a degraded seal, in which case you can replace the seal with a new gasket. If not, you'll have to change the thermostat itself. Depending on the year of your model, you can buy a new thermostat with the housing for around $30. Higher-end brands may cost between $75 to $100, but it's still a relatively affordable solution for preventing potential engine damage due to overheating. It's best to address this issue promptly by replacing the thermostat.

I used to have a Cruze that had been leaking for years without any error code showing up, but when I switched out the thermostat along with the housing unit, the leak stopped. However, now I'm getting an occasional error code for the thermostat or gasket - quite funny, huh?
