I have a pretty badly leaking radiator. I have to fill up every day (even more if I drive a lot).

Yesterday, the car shot up to way past the HOT mark on the water temp and the oil light and I believe battery light came on. Did the car shut off? I couldn't hear it because of the highway noise.

I'm hoping I didn't lose oil pressure or anything crazy like that. I had to wait a few minutes, and fill up again, then I was on my way.

Damn, I gotta get that freakin thing fixed.

 

Forget the question and just get the leak fixed

 

Good idea.

I was just wondering though.

 

I dont know about Hondas, but I used to have an old chevy that when it would get hot, like sitting at a light. The oil pressure gauge would drop down to almost nothing. Then when I would take off and the air would cool the engine down the pressure would rise again. I put heavier weight old in it and it helped a little.

But like I said this was an old chevy, not a Honda.

Thanks, J

 

Have you checked the oil for coolant?
