You may have put the thermostat in backwards and the not clened all the material off of both sides of the thermostat housing. Or the housing because it is aluminum may have eroded on the housing itself. Pull it back apart and inspect it carefully. You haven't mentioned anything about overheating so it may be ok, just an eroded housing. You might also have to put some teflon type sealer on the bolts so they don't leak as well.
