car: 91 civic ex
motor: a6 block/y7 head and hg

just put it together tonight finally!! after filling with coolant for a minute i hear a leak. i get underneath and i see that it is dripping on the backside of the motor almost towards the right, but not as far as the water pump..

any ideas? i searched and found that it could be the o rings for the water tube in the back of the block. anyone else have this prob? where else may it be coming from? def not my water pump.

i am going to take my intake manifold off tomorrow and pour some more coolant into her to try and find the leak. but if this has happened to anyone give me a heads up please! thanks

could be from the one of the many coolant lines under the intake or on the coolant pipe that is ont he back of the block trace it to the source

well i am going to do that tomorrow morning when i have light. i ran out of light this evening. i am assuming that it is either the o rings on the water pipe, sensor for the fan or one of the hoses that goes to the pipe.

it is definately not the lines to the manifold b/c that was never out of the car. however i will double check them anyways.

thanks

just found what it was, either my water pump or the gasket. either way they are getting changed today. thanks!

water pump and gasket fixed the leak.

now i just need to get a alternator belt to try and keep the car running. ran for like 15 minutes and then i shut it off. when i went to start it again it wouldn't start. i guess the belt will go on tomrrow.
