Had to retire before last two starts and took the car home driving it... while keeping cabin heater on HOT sertting and selecting only highway roads to allow coolant to stay relateively cool - I have a low temp thermostat.
No leaks on the way home for 110km and temp stayed low.

Opened the bellypan under the engine and found out the leak coming from water temperature sensor, but only when the water was at normal or higher operating temperature and the water pressure was high.

You do know the low temp therm has absolutely nothing to do with how hot/cool your engine runs, right?

Have you considered snuging up the temp sensor?
