Volvo 140 » Thermostats & Seals
 The engine thermostat keeps the engine coolant at an optimal temperature for maximum engine efficiency. Extreme seasonal temperature fluctuations can kill a thermostat in a short time. Keep a spare in the trunk and an eye on your temperature gauge. Please check fitment listed below to ensure products will fit your specific vehicle.

If you find this place/part leaking, then open up the thermostat housing and inspect the blardy thermostat. I changed my thermostat EVERY year, and yet the dang thing could fail me in the 8th year. THe total costs was horrendous, as overheating caused a lot of other things to burn/damage as well... In anycase, if you buy the thermostat (any kind), chances are that you'll get this ring seal together. But if your thermostat housing is leaking, then open the housing, you may need a T40 bit for that (or whatever is you've changed into aftermarket bolts), and inspect the seal. If the seal was improperly placed the first time, it may have crushed the walls and you need new seals for that.
Hope that helps.
Cheers, all the way from Malaysia!
