car: 91 civic ex

motor: a6 block/y7 head and hg

just put it together tonight finally!! after filling with coolant for a minute i hear a leak. i get underneath and i see that it is dripping on the backside of the motor almost towards the right, but not as far as the water pump..

any ideas? i searched and found that it could be the o rings for the water tube in the back of the block. anyone else have this prob? where else may it be coming from? def not my water pump.

i am going to take my intake manifold off tomorrow and pour some more coolant into her to try and find the leak. but if this has happened to anyone give me a heads up please! thanks

The intake manifold has coolant lines going to it, make sure those are connected and in place.

 

well the intake manifold was never disconnected, nor the hoses going to it. that all stayed in the car during surgery thanks though.

 

there is a sensor for the radiator fans that threads into a coolant passage on the back of the block next to the oil filter, check that too.

 

oh... interesting, thanks, i will check that too!!

 

just found what it was, either my water pump or the gasket. either way they are getting changed today. thanks!

 

water pump and gasket fixed the leak.

now i just need to get a alternator belt to try and keep the car running. ran for like 15 minutes and then i shut it off. when i went to start it again it wouldn't start. i guess the belt will go on tomrrow.
