I have a 91 civic hatchback with a b16a. I noticed i was losing coolant and didn't see any leaks. But then i noticed a puddle on my passenger side floor. Anyone know where it could be coming from?

 

coolant inside on the floorbaord you sayy? sounds like you have a leaking heater core.

 

yea is there anyway to stop it?

 

yep. you can park the car and not start the engine..

or..

replace the heater core

 

is there a way i can delete the heater core?

 

yes there is. but you will not have any heat

 

Can you direct me to a write up on how to delete it?

 

just make a loop with the hoses that connect to the heater core.

 

is it not winter in illinois right now? cause in in indiana and its like 12 ****in degrees. id think youd kinda need a heater in your car.

 

As stated above. Make a loop from the back of the block (that goes to the firewall)
to the other hose to the back of the block (from firewall to block).
Both hoses are beneath the Intake manifold.. So:
Unscrew the drain bold in your radiator. (below passenger side of the tank)
Drain your coolant.
Then re-route the coolant lines.
Screw your drain plug back in.
Fill your coolant.
Bleed your coolant system.
Bada-Bing!

 

well i would have told him that bypassing the heater core is an option, but i assumed most people would rather keep there heat.. guess i was wrong. whatever floats your boat i guess

 

granted this is from a corolla but it will be very similar to your Honda as well. where these two hoses come out from your firewall to your motor, just disconnect the hoses from the inlet and outlet like stated above and then find a u-bend hose that fits the space between the outlet and inlet on the motor and viola, no more leaky heater core.
