A few drops of coolant and dried residue at the bottom showed it had leaked. I didn’t check the original OEM thermostat as I was changing it anyway. Physically it looked fine. As far as I was concerned I had found my culprit so didn’t heat water to check it’s functioning.
Do you think the air came from the bad pump? I've not heard of such a thing.
