While changing the clutch in my 92 Civic with B16A, I smelt coolant in the engine bay. When I got underneath the car, there was coolant underneath the transmission, oil pan, and engine block. I have no idea where the leak is coming from. I have a slight oil leak where the engine meets the head underneath the VTEC Solenoid. I've had 2 people tell me my Headgasket is bad, another say my block/head could be cracked. I have no smoke and no loss in performance. No Oil in the Coolant, but the Oil was a little bubbly after an hour drive. Any ideas?

put a block tester on it and find out if there are exhaust gasses in the coolant system. takes 5 minutes at autozone. if its fine then maybe you have a bad hose of thermostat housing leak or something simple. the bubbles you said sound like a head gasket concern. 99% of the time i use the block tester (i have my own) i use it for diagnosing bad head gaskets correctly. the block is rarely cracked ...except for one dumbass that drove 200 miles home overheating and the like. he had extra water and oil in his car on this trip so he got home. kinda. it barely ran and ran out of gas by my place. it started and he brought it over. sounded awful. cracked block. cylinder wall.

u can successfully change a clutch, but yet u can't diagnose a coolant leak? ok...anyways i had a similar
problem which turned out to be the water pump gasket, i would say check that, possibly change that and
ur timing belt while ur at it...then degrease and powerwash underneath to find out where the leak is comin from
if it's not the water pump..pics could help too
