Default head gasket ?

okay well i was wondering if you guys could help me out on this and if its broke im gonna bug for a mini me swap but anyways is it a common problem wit honda's to have to add anti freeze like i would say about 3 or 4 days by then it sucks it all out of the over flow doesnt run hot or anything like that though so i dont really understand.

You shouldnt be adding that much that often at all. If you car smoking, then its probably the head gasket. Simple fix.

Is it leaking put a piece of card-board under it under something and leave it under it one night. Bottom line, coolant going somewhere, so its either to inside the motor via h/g, or on the outside a leak somewhere.

You have two things you need to do. A compression test and a coolant system pressure test.
It could be something as simple as a slightly leaky intake manifold gasket. Seeing a green tint on the spark plugs may be a sign of that or a bad head gasket.
You should be able to find someone with a compression tester, or you can probably rent both tools from checker.
