bloody hell. theres no spot for just "maintenance". its an L67, so its not just 2000-2005. if anything, its probably either 96-2003 or 2000-2003, so 2000-2005 doesnt fit right. its not quite general chat, and blah blah blah. for all i know, it could even be 1992-2003 so all those forums would fit. i flipped a coin. my sincere apologies for putting this in the wrong place.

I agree, it looks to be in far enough, it'* bad to over-tighten and break those pieces off.... ohh man I can remember when i did that on my lumina....

The hole on my thermostat housing can always be seen, but when tighted, the hole is blocked inside.
No worries, start your car up...It shouldn't leak.

That is a vent plug on top of the thermostat housing. Check it out when the engine is up to normal operating temperature. No leakage allowed.
