ok i had a coolant leak from one of the small lines going to the iacv. i fixed it now every time i check the coolant in the radiator its low and there are no leaks. so what ive noticed is the coolant is going into the overflow bottle when it gets warm but when it cools back down it doesnt go back into the radiator. so my overflow bottle gets higher and higher and my radiator gets lower and lower. my first thought was radiator cap so i got a new one from honda and the problem is still there. any ideas? thanks

 

are you overheating?

not on normal driving no.

 

Have you tried bleeding all the air out? Have you filled the radiator up recently?

 

is the upper house going towards the thermostat housing clogged?

 

hoses were replaced no more than two months ago yea i bled the radiator and i have to refill it every morning.

 

 

There is no sign of a leak anywhere? At all?

 

not from the top im gonna go under tomorow. but that would seem like the only reason right? im thinking when it cools down its sucking in air from some where.

 

what about a headgasket? mines weak around cyl 3 and i slowly lose coolant, but very slowly

 

wouldnt that mean white smoke out the exhaust though?

 

i poped the hood after work and the over flow bottle was all the way up to the top and i filled it to inbetween the two marks. weird.

haha your joking right? the thermostat is on the front of the motor coming from the top hose (d16z6) oh yea forgot to mention i can take the over flow bottle wich is always way to high after driving and poor it into the low radiator when cool and end up with the same amount of fluid.

 

yea then its definately a head gasket

time for a compresion check i hope your wrong

 

do a leak down too, u can still have good compression and a blowm or bad hg

 

this happened to you? how long has it been like this?

 

my hg is getting week but i know its a hg for sure, you losing coolant and theres no leaks and what makes me know for sure is the over flow bottle is filled. this happens when the hg is blown. have u noticed any smoke? mines been weak for a couple of months now, im not gonna bother cuz im swapping in the summer.

 

i have seen smoke once after i shut my car off but damn now that i think about it your right its probably a slow leak like you were saying. do you just keep re filling your radiator?
