I noticed a couple coolant puddles under my hood a week ago (around radiator and stock airbox.) I was asking around if people thought it was a hose leak or a radiator leak. Well it started to overheat this Monday on my drive to work. Once it got to that extreme there was a big puddle of coolant under the car and we could see a spray from the radiator. I got it replaced for $75 for my 95 EX.

I suggest you elaborate so you can get it taken care of before it ends up overheating.

It is either leaking from somewhere (such as hose, radiator, water pump), or you have a bad head gasket and you are burning it.

if you leak coolant, that means that there's leak somewhere in your cooling system, eventually causing your car to overheat...figure out where it's leaking from and fix it...it could just be hoses but if it doesn't get fixed, it could turn into something serious...
