oh yeah, cardinal sign of the tstat or ECT.
might as well get in there and do both....very cheap and easy to do, unless you break all your torx bits like I did....soak in PB blaster for a while before trying to get the tstat housing loose!

yes make sure you take your time w/ those torx bolts--- very touchy. I stripped mine a little bit due to a torx bit that was a bit soft, make sure yours is fresh.
