I did a couple searches and didnt find anything on my problem.
Just recently i was driving and noticed my car got a little hot, so i pulled over and look under the hood. I looked in the coolant bottle and there was nothing in there so i put some water in there and it was fine. Then i went home and put some coolant in there.
Then the next day i come home from school and when i got home i checked to see if i needed more coolant but there was nothing in there. WTF ?!?!
ok ... now i put some coolant in and i look under my car for a while.... nothign comes out. So i start up my car and look under and still nothing comes out. So now im thinking it might be a blown head gasket? or it might be getting into the motor?
I check my oil stick and it looks fine. o yea i changed my oil a couple days earlyer and the oil looks fine. How do you know if theres water in the oil? when i checked my oil it looks a light brown. and when i start up my car, it starts up with no trouble and when i drive its just fine. I hit vtec and its normal too.
anyone have any idea where my coolant went? help me plz.
its been like 4 days now.

i let my car on jack stands and came back 15mins later and found 5 small a$$ spots of water. I go under and look and my tranny is kinda wet..... is the water pump near the tranny? wheres the water pump located at?
water pump is on the driver side (US). not near the tranny. try checking your hoses. radiator and heater hoses. also maybe your gasket on the thermo housing.

i look at all the hoses and i found a small one about 1in. in diameter probably and it looks kinda wet near it. It comes from under the distrubuter and to the back of the motor and into firewall.
Is there a radiator hoses that size? that comes from under the dizzy?

Are you sure the line's not routing to your intake manifold?

nope.
Heres some pics.
This is the hoses im talking about.


This is where it goes.... it connects to this thing and comes out the other side


After taht it goes into the firewall. Its the hoses on the right


Is that a hoses for the radiator? because i think thats the hoses that is leaking.
