Odd Coolant Leak-- Question??
Yes I have already searched and with my "coolant leak" search I thought I read something about my problem but not sure so here it is:
I have lately been getting a coolant drip coming down on the driver side right under the oil filter, its actually dripping off the oil pan. But im sure its coming from somewhere above. The tricky part is that today when the engine was cold I moved it directly into my warehouse and the drip started with the engine off- cold engine. I then had to drive about 20 mins, parked it for 30 mins and no drip whatsover. I thought I recall reading that a sign of the waterpump going bad is this wheeping bolt leaking and when its cold it drips but it heats and burns when the engine is hot? Engine is bone stock d16z6 with 71k original miles, 94 EX civic. Any ideas? Thanks

i had a leak there was a little puddle of coolant next to the oil filter and it stopped leaking when my coolant level was low. Mine was leaking from a little nozzle from under the intake manifold, there was a cap that goes over it so it doesn't leak. My cap was torn which made it leak

Im about to go check out this cap mentioned. Althought one problem I see is that when the engines is fullly warm the drip seems to stop and it doesnt seem to be dripping all the time while parked. But it does seem to drip when I make short trips and come back out. Drip is near the front driver side wheel, near the oil drain bolt. Any ideas? Thanks
