92 CiViC HB

I've had to add coolant every week for almost the past 3 weeks. Just recently after i added coolant I noticed that some was leaking on the ground and there was a small leak out the back of the block near the Alternator.

If it helps anyone, I recently replaced the head on the car, but I used a new headgasket, and the car is a 92 dx, d15b7.

I've also replaced the radiator and thermostat before this problem began to occur.

Can you see the source of the leak? When you changed the head did you make sure all of the old gasket was removed? Did you tighten down the bolts all evenly and to spec? I ask just because if there's a tiny piece of the old gasket left it will allow coolant to seep past it as well as if you don't have the bolts tightened right it could.

No I cannot see the exact spot, just the general location.

Im pretty sure i got off all the carbon/stuff off from the old headgasket, and I used a torque wrench to and correct sequence when bolting everything back.

Bump for more ideas please.
