out of curiousity,

i bought a crx parts car that had the head gasket replaced once, and shortly went bad again. could this be because of a warped head, or does that not happen very much with these cars?

Warped head, warped block, tightened the head bolts down in the wrong pattern, didn't torque the head bolts properly.

ok well the motor is spitting out some liquid. its unknown what it is though and my cousin (a honda tech) said its condensation because it is cold out. The leak from the driver side is a bad water pump.

This sounds a bit more reasonable.

They have a small seal at the bottom that breaks when the pump is going bad.
Water weeps out of it.

First post is funny though - makes it sound like the exhaust had green fluid coming out.
I once had a car that did that.
