The thermostat neck is the highest part of the cooling system.
On S5, the radiator feeler neck is the highest part.

If you want to be creative and the CORE is the only thing leaking,then get the Rad from the Pick-a-part and take the Plastic pieces off the Core,.and put them on the usable core.
They are held on by Little fork like metal Tabs that compress the plastic to the Core,
Undo all those little tabs with a screw drive and BOB's Your Uncle!..it comes right off.
I did it,it works,,use some RTV on assembly,the Rubber O gasket may be Flattened a bit,(you'll see what I mean if you take the plastic top off the Core.)
Good Luck.
