i have just replaced the thermostat and put it all together and a bit of coolant is squirting out where the theremostat meets the engine. is there an easy way to fix this or do i have to rip it all off again?

p.s. i put a new o ring on aswell

mine is a series 1 so the housing is at the back of the engine under the throttle body.
and there is only 1 bolt to hold it on
