i hate it when people ask where leaks are coming from when there is visible leakage on the ground... just freakin look ... more than likely a hose, water pump, or somethin of that nature... code 21= vtec solenoid... code 9= cylinder position sensor (inside dizzy)

Does is start? CHeck ALL your coolant lines and make sure they're all going to the right place. I fucked mine up one time and had coolant coming out of my exhaust.

start your engine and look around to try to see if you can find your leak, double check all hoses, also check around the radiator or water pump

check radiator inlet and outlet, both ends
dont' forget the heater hoses that go into the firewall. There's the water pump, and the coolant lines that got to the IACV and on the intake manifold into the head.

not too concern about the CEL, but the major concern is the anitfreeze leak. ITS NOT COMING FROM THE ENGINE BAY (got that figure out). for some reason, its coming out of the holes underneath the chasis (where the tar is) ..go look under your car kind of by the sideskirts and you know what i mean. it comes out (dripping in some and gushing out in other holes) all along the sides (front all the way to the back of the car), sometimes even out of the side of the sideskirts. i bought the car as a shell so im unaware of anything wrong. as far as looks go, nothing seems to be out of place. also, there was smoke coming out of the dash as well. lmk.

we're thinking its the heater core (i just found out the heater motor doesnt work..no fan..nothing) but the carpet is not wet at all, but all the antifreeze is leaking out from those holes under the chasis

Are there channels in the floor pan that might let coolant escape (without getting the carpet wet) from the sides if the heater core leaked ?

Weird
