Default Coolant soaked carpet, WHAT IS LEAKING ???

have mad puddles of coolant on the driver side and pass side carpet under floor mat. The firewall pad, under gas, clutch and brake pads are soaked as well. What and where leak coming from? The 2 hoses that go out of the firewall (heater hoses) ??? My coolant level in the radiator and block doesn't really change and it does not over heat. If anything it under heats. wtf

It's something you could do if you are comfortable taking out the entire center console. I would suggest to take it to a shop if you do not have a shop manual or you don't feel comfortable tearing into your dash.

lol..... yeah the Dash along with the entire center console, gauge cluster, glove box, Steering wheel and steering wheel support bar. If you think the IM is tough I think you'll be singing a different tune after this exercise.... It can be done, I just finished taking mine out now. 3hrs later and that's with the front seats removed. That's why it costs $800 at a shop. It's pretty time consuming.

Good luck and remember a little patience goes a long way on this job, Oh did you pick up a Honda Shop manual? That helps 100%
