Default b16 slow leak

hello i searched a bit and still not sure. it is hard to tell exactly where the leak is coming from. i think it might be the thermostat gasket or the o ring, but not sure. the coolant leaks slowly collects around the vss and then drips down the side of the tranny and the shift linkage. i guess my question is can this be anything else besides what i mentioned, im going to try to replace the gasket and see how it does from there. thanks in advance

Are you using factory hose clamps or the ones that you must tighten?
I've noticed that the clamps that you tighten seem to loosen every few months.
Get an inspection mirror and pinpoint your leak.

i will try to use one tommarow in the school shop, mostly using the factory clamps, but the biggest hose uses the tighting one.

Mine comes loose and leaks every three or four months. I think the problem will go away if oem hose clamps are used.
