After I drive for about 6 minutes and then come and park my car.

If I look under my car I get a very fast drip of coolant on to my exhaust directly before my catalytic converter.

The drip slowly slows its rate until it stops.

I have gotten under the car and looked at every freaking hose. They are all dry and the leak is coming somewhere above my left axle...all gaskets and things look fine...

UGH

 

water pump is the only thing on that side.

 

thermo switch for the fan is in that area as well.

 

Its more towards the middle of my bay. Like directly where the left axle goes into my trans. It's dripping on that polyurethane coupling boot thing.

 

hmmmm not sure then. Get it pressure checked.

 

intake manifold, and TB both have coolant running through them, plus the lines to your heater core are right above there too.

 

check the bolts on the t housing and check all the hoses going to the intake mani

 

Did you check the hoses going into the IAC Valve and TB? Im trying to picture what would be directly above your header.. GL

 

the water pipe that runs from the water pump to the thermostat housing is also there - has o-rings each end that can sometimes leak

 

Found the leak...took off the coolant line and there was one small pin hole on the TOP connection. But that wasn't the one leaking. Closer inspection makes me believe the seal around the base of the metal tube here is worn and coolant is getting by it. I don't think the coolant line itself is leaking. Can I just JB weld around the base of this metal thing? Or if not...what can I use to seal the base...

 

Ya, my radiator had the same issue due to it being old and shitty... There is stuff made specifically for high temperature and moisture I believe its called waterweld.... Ive used it on my radiator like 6 months ago and I havn't had an issue with it.

 

thanks!

 

Don't use anything that goes in your coolant to seal leaks. It can gum up other parts of your system and with a Honda you don't want to take chances on the w.p. getting fried. You can try jb weld it works wonders sometimes. Id hunt around for another piece in the mean time.

 

I'm going for the directly applied approach...

 

It sounds like one of the hoses coming off of the water pipe. Probably is the smaller one. MAybe you clould use a small mirror to look at the underside while it is dripping Or felx those hoses while the car is still hot but be careful for hot coolant in the eye could really suck.

 

New hose and water weld worked perfect.

 

good deal.
