Busted upper end tank probably. You can use non-ITR Integra radiators, but I'm not sure if 2nd generation ones apply. Physical fitment is the same.

ok guys last night i found where the leak was it is right blow the cap in the front of the radiator there is a thin crack probably the size or a girls hair......its bout like 2 inchs long..........i put some exhaust sealant thinking it would cover the crack well in the morning before i went to school it started coming out again.......i let the car sit there all night to dry...and the fluid just cracked right threw it.......is there any type of like sealant made for this types of crack.....i really have no money right now i am starting my new job in 2 days........so i wont have money till like 2 weeks from now.......

well today this is what i did thanks to some guy at jdmuniverse.com

but if you wnat something that will seal it up and last you quite some time..go to any car part store and get yourself some jb weld. $5 per packet (2 tubes) and mix those ****** together and put it on. let it sit there for an hour or so...you'll never be able to get ther ****** off again.

so i guess i will see tommorow morning if this works i just hope there arent any more cracks that i didnt see

well guys i am at school right now......well the part where that crack was is not leaking but i think it has another leak cause fluid was all over the place.....i think it is this ruber round piece next to the cap like it has a plastice thing holding it down and it looks like its loosed or its not sitting all the way down....so i guess i will have to fix that....it is like a round rubber piece so i guess i will have to glue it down or something....

No , you just didnt do it right, i have patched sooooo many radiators including mine on the race car and i have never had probs. the only thing i found JB doesnt work well on is Exhaust manifolds becuase they get too hott,
you gotta let that **** sit for a while to settle. trust me . mine still holds, if you want you can buy mine . Im getting a Fluidyne anyway just for ***** and giggles.
