Why is my 1998 jeep Cherokee Laredo losing antifreeze and power steering fluid?

It more than likely has a leak on one of the hoses or something. Try and look for a leak somewhere on it. It will probably be covered in grime wherever the leak is. On the coolant leak, try replacing the gasket where the thermostat is. When I swapped out my thermostat the gasket there was almost completely eaten away.-Sam1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0L HO 4WDK&N Cold Air Intake w/ HeatshieldJet Performance Stage II Chip180 Degree ThermostatMagnaflow Muffler and Cat

How do you install a thermostat on a 1997 Jeep Cherokee?

What we've done is to call Chrysler directly and ask customer service for the part number and then look for the part that way. I don't know how to change it, but we found a very good mechanic in Los Angeles, CA.

drian raidiator, disconnect airintake sensors, remove intake, follow upper radiator hose to the Thermostat housing, remove 2 bolts, hose should move enough to get new thermostat in, install new thermostat with the little vent thing up and a new gasket notes: gasket cement helps in installing parts in difficult locations and there are 3 different thermostats for the 1.5l, also if possible back flush before starting takes about 1hr the cooling system since you have to drain anyway
