2014 E350 Thermostat Hose
Hey all,
i just replaced my thermostat in my 2014 E350 but the hose that is connected to the thermostat is leaking from the side. Is this a one time use screw or something?

Noooo... it must be a 50¢ O-Ring seal in there.

perhaps the screw drilling is a through hole... so leaking is guaranteed
You have to use sealant on the screw or thread locker to seal it.

curve ball
Remove the screw to feel if this is a through hole... poke inside with a wire or small screw driver or take a phone camera picture...
