My car was overheating a couple of days ago and I saw a leak comming from the radiator. I put some coolant in and it's been running fine , I think the thermostat got stuck, not sure. But it's been 4 days and I haven't seen any leak anymore, and I check everytime I get in the car and get out. But the thing is I check my radiator fluid in the resevoir and it slowly gets lower and lower everyday. Help

 

The coolant could be escaping in the form of vapor.

The integra radiators are becoming infamous for springing leaks so don't be surprised if you have to replace it. I haven't tried it but I've heard others stated that it's really easy to replace yourself.

 

this could be just the excuse you need to get a Fluidyne

 

HAHA yah that would be a good idea, but I'm not willing to spend $500

 

JUST BOUGHT A FLUIDYN AND spent 399.99 - 20% from carparts.com

 

Hey JDM teg, if your car is overheating, why not check if you have a leak, and if you do then you should replace the part its leaking from i.e. radiator, upper/lower radiator hose, or the radiator cap. plus dont add too much coolant/antifreeze cause more the coolant/antifreeze the slower the circulation and less cooling. its more of the water that does the cooling than the coolant/anitfreeze. like you said about not willing to spend 500 bucks on a fluidyne, dont cause it wont help you much. umm what year is your car? maybe it needs a radiator flush as well, cause water passage ways in the engine and radiator could be clooged. your thermostat could be stuck as well, but first find that leak and fix it, if that doesnt fix the problem of overheating then next try replacing the thermostat and do a radiator flush... i hope your car runs at its operating temp. without overheating after this... good luck.
