Radiator leak 97 Civic
Hey guys, looked around but I haven't seen any issues around here like this one. Went to do an oil change yesterday and as I was jacking the right of the car up to put a stand under it, it started to dribble oil. I go to lift the other half of the car and it stops. I get under and notice the only wet spot is where the rubber boot is on the bottom mounting point. The radiator is 2 years old and is the aftermarket choice at the Honda Dealership. I attached a picture to give a better understanding.

Sorry. You said it was dribbling oil.
Inspect the rad. Especially at the top where plastic meets the metal. You could get it pressure tested as well.

Whoops. I just seen that typo. Last time I filled the radiator, I used a pressurized filler and it doesn't spill. I just find it odd that the rubber boot is soaked with coolant, but dry everywhere else.
