I do not have a diagram. The thermostat is on the intake manifold. Follow the upper radiator hose and it will attach to a housing which is the thermostat housing. Remove the boltts and replace the thermostat.

If the radiator is leaking you may have a pinhole leak or the radiator cap may be bad. Have a cooling system pressure test done if the problem persists.
