Be sure that your clutch fluid is not leaking.

Why do you think your HG is blown? Please describe.

 

my exhaust has oil coming out of it i heard that usually means a blown head gasket.... correct me if im wrong.

How does it have oil coming out? Liquid out the tail pipe? Burning it?

Good warning signs:
1) Oil will be floating on top of anti-freeze.
2) Your oil will be milky.
3) You may see leaks between the head and block.
4) You car will smoke white.
5) You car will overheat, but when your rev your engine the temp will go down.

 

when i rev up i put my hand in front of the exhaust and my hand has oil particles. i only smoke when idling. but its very minimal. the car overheats when it sits.

Next time it overheats, rev it up and see if it does down.

What color smoke?

 

alright so i took it for a drive and it overheated again. as soon as i turn on the heater the car cools off. when i idle the car seems to cool off. but as soon as i give it gas it heats up again.....

 

i need some assistance please can anyone help me out?????

 

Thermostat...head gasket, fan, the list goes on and on...last one I had like this was a thermostat sticking. As for the clutch...many clutch master cylinders leak inside of the car near the clutch pedal of course. Look up in there with a flashlight, and see if anyhting appears to have been leaking where the rod goes through the firewall. Typical honda issue. Good luck!

 

yea well it ended up being just a thermostat thank god. i replace it and everything is working fine, no overheating....thanx for all the help!

 

as for the clutch i checked and it is leaking right where you said.... so now im going to replace it ill post pics.

 

you can see the difference in the two.


this is where its leaking right above the clutch pedal

 

yes sir!!! Just as I expected! Good luck!

 

check your slave cylinder too
