Im in need of changeing my thermostat and is wondering if anyone can help me out a lil bit, also I see that theres some mocha colored gunk in my oil cap, does that mean i have a leaky headgasket? My car takes a long time to warm up , im thinkin due to the thermostat being stuck open, could that be the cause of the coolant gettin mixed in my oil? No smoke or nothing just finding the mocha stuff under my oil cap.

Replacing the thermostat in the GT is pretty easy. Just be sure to take the oil filter off to get some leverage on the 10 mm bolts holding the housing. The pitchcock to drain the coolant is right below where you'd think it is on the front left, however you will need to take off at least one of the plastic underbody panels, just a few 14mm bolts there. Before you pull the radiator hoses off make sure you press them firmly to push any fluids out, believe me it can get messy.
