Trace the upper radiator hose to the thermostat housing. Loosen the hose clamp on the housing with a flat-blade screwdriver. Slide the clamp back and remove the hose from the housing. Use a wrench to remove the two mounting bolts from the thermostat housing.
4
Slide the housing off of the intake manifold. Clean any remaining gasket pieces from the thermostat housing with a flat scraper and clean rag. Remove the old thermostat from the housing.
5
Insert the new thermostat into the housing. Position the new gasket on the outer edge of the housing and position it over the mounting area on the intake manifold. Replace the two mounting bolts and tighten them using a wrench.
6
Replace the upper radiator hose on the thermostat housing and tighten the hose clamp. Top off the radiator with a blend of equal parts antifreeze and distilled water. Replace the radiator cap.
The Stop Light Switch is located by the Brake Pedal arm, it is usually held in with a screw or nut, just unplug the electrical connector, remove the nut or screw and install the new one and tighten and plug everything back up.
There common to break off, you can pick up the replacement drain plug at NAPA and buy a stud retracter to remove the drain plug. if the plug is not leaking, Leave it alone and to drain the radiator, just disconnect the lower radiator hose on the opposite side of the radiator.
Good luck and hope this helps you on your project.
Are you sure it's not just a dirty and burn transmission fluid?? But if it is engine oil you may have a bad radiator since the transmission cooler and engine oil cooler is integrated with the radiator.
Good luck and keep me posted.
