Icon2 Coolant Leakage Problem

Installed b18c1 in eg hatch - noticing rad fluid is using up alot faster than normal- needing to fill every couple days - noticed rad fluid leaking beside my throttle body

no odd smell, cannot find a puddle under my car - not blowing white smoke
Cars temp is normal.

Bleed the lines again?
I also have a bigger rad hose on my rad than what is supposed to be on there. Air might be getting in ? (b series hose wouldn't fit on my rad )


Thanks.

Maybe your FITV Fast Idle Thermal Valve is leaking, try taking it off and cleaning around where the gasket sits. Very well could be leaking man. Anything is possible.

Oh! well take it off dude, and check out the gasket. I know mine on my car has a pretty crummy gasket. I don't know if you can buy a little gasket kit to replace the old ones or not. Clean it up and re install for a tight seal.
