Maybe I should be more specific:

- You've already done a flow check and failed-equipment trouble shooting, both of which confirmed that the TC is the problem. It is working very sporadically and is far from reliable.

- Your first priority is to fly the plane.

- What do you tell ATC - nothing, inform them, or declare an emergency?

- Where do you go: Home field (10 minutes) or missed approach field (5 minutes)?

- ATC won't give you lower until you're established on an approach. Do you climb above knowing that you will then have to come back down through it to land or do you go to the nearest approach and decend below the ceilings as published on that approach?
