Default RAD runs dry..... where is it going?

I have a 91 crx HF and I have noticed the RAD get really low after I drive it for a while. Last time I jacked it up coolant spilled onto the floor from the heater core area..... is my heater core shot? also the car doesnt run hot and the heater doesnt get very hot. I also noticed condensation in the tail pipe.. is the head gasket blown or do you think I have a leak?


Thanks in advance, Matt

i would check into your leak at the heater core their is a hole somewhere in the hose. i dont think its the headgasket but you can do a leakdown test to make sure that in fact its not the headgasket

Look for your water pump. I had similiar problem, no viewable leaks or damages in the radiator. And all things seem fine. But i replaced my water pump, and no leaks anymore.
