Didn't lose any water. Holly shit.... Was water supposed to be there? I just took a 12mm to undo the two bolts, took off the connector, blasted it with carb cleaner, let it sit in the balcony, and put it back in hours later. The gasket sits flush inside a groove, and was perfect. Just reused it. I made sure I disconnected the battery and started up w/out hitting the gas. (As you should do anyway)

i dotn like using carb clean, id rather use brake cleaner on those kind of things because carb clean doesnt exaporate as fast as brake clean and carb cleaner is also oil based too.

The car had been sitting for a while when I took it out. Previous owner was running car hot. Guess that's why it was all clogged. Thermostat was stuck shut, radiator had a whole in it. It was pretty screwed bad.
