degas bottle leaking

[MacDougall]

And no its is not from the cap lol. so my degas bottle is leaking (must have a crack in it) and i know for a fact it isnt puking. its coming out of the top of the bottle and on the seem where it is put together. so where is the best place to get a new one at? because im assuming ford will want an arm and a leg and a nut for one.

I can see where its leaking cause when i look under the hood right after i turn it off the coolant that came out is bubbling from the pressure coming out of the degas.

Check eBay and do a google search and click on the shopping tab use drop down bar set lowest price first. Check and make sure seller is legit though.

Btw ford had the degass bottle marked as 175 plus tax I know this cuz I just got one from them. But lucky me I didn't have to pay for it

The Engine Coolant Recovery Tank (PN: 8A080) is $87.33 from FordParts.com or $57.64 at TousleyFordParts.com. Commonly known as the degas tank or expansion tank or coolant reservoir. I too had this tank to crack and replaced it for the reasonable sum of about $60...even a small crack will allow a substantial volume of coolant loss under pressure.

This is an inexpensive fix.

Tousley Ford has it listed for $57.64, not to bad i thought it would be more. But does a site vendor have any for sale for cheaper or does any of them have them for sale period?
