gonna try turning on the car to c if it leaks some more?

 

Definitely a coolant leak. Could be coming from a number of hoses on that side of the motor, thermostat housing gasket, upper or lower radiator hoses, etc. My guess is the water neck for the upper hose bolted to the block. It's sealed from the factory with Honda-Bond. My B-Series sprouted a leak there so I removed it, cleaned it, and resealed it with black rtv. And replace that busted cv axle that's slingin' grease poo all over the place lol!

 

thanks gonna go look for some before The Man gets home then... how long can i drive around with the axle like that, before I need a new one? been driving around for about approx 1000miles like that... I love Pensacola!!

 

in this picture at a different angle... is it leaking oil on the right because there is no bolt there?

 

Well, that's where the two case halves separate but if enough sealant was applied when reassembling the trans, I don't see the missing bolt causing a leak over a short span like that. You should find a bolt to pop in there though to de-ghettofab it. After you address the coolant leak, clean everything up thoroughly and then double check for the trans leak after a few miles. But before doing that, pull the fill plug on the trans and make sure oil pours out. If not, top it off.

On the axle, it's hard to say without a crystal ball. For sure you're losing a lot of axle grease and introducing dirt/sand/grit/dust/pollen/road grime/water into areas of the axle that it doesn't belong, which will wear it out prematurely and cause it to start clicking around tight turns.

Born and raised here in Pensacola. It's nice, but lacks industry.

 

Check the thermostat housing and all coolant hoses.

 

we just took the dizzy off an hour ago to see b/c it so dark outside... but it looks like thats where its coming from thermostat housing... but will check in the morning when its brighter... Thanks the hubby said it might be loose... and he didnt realize how bad the cv axels is till i took the pictures today... He said the worst thing I did not want hear about the axels, he said my car might be to low and that he will have to raise it a little when he puts a new one in...

 

If coolant is leaking from the distributor, you have big problems.

Check the areas I mentioned and also the 2-wire and 1-wire ECT sensors below the distributor.

 

sorry i ment we took the dizzy off to look for the leak around the hoses and thermohousing... its dark and couldnt see past the dizzy... bad typo...

 

Good deal. If you guys didn't mark the distributor to head, be sure to throw a timing light on it when you reinstall it. And cv boots go bad all the time regardless of ride height. Good luck with the repairs.

 

still leaking around the thermostat housing after tightening it... gonna take it to the people who dropped my motor in and c if they can fix it, b/c the hubby dont want to mess with it... to late on not raising the front up a little... he just raised it today when i got home from work... because he said brand newly dropped motor and there is already dings on the oil pan he doesnt like... =( he saying i'm a bad driver... lol...

 

Lol, I haven't met a woman that wasn't a bad driver. It's probably just a leaky thermostat gasket. Shouldn't be a costly repair.

 

lol... i have only wrecked a car once and that was 10 years ago... i've been a good driver since...

 

Not bad! Any updates?

 

still sitting in the driveway because both of us been really busy... been driving my sister's car since she is out of town... =( but did find out my tires are balding (showing threads) because I've been taking off in it since I've put 1000 miles on the motor now I got to save up for new tires for my rnr that have been sitting in my bed room since 2008, save for new cv boot, and fix thermohousing... lol... keep finding new things to fix since this new motor... thanks for asking =D

 

Have you removed the thermostat housing to see whether a thermostat is installed? Unless you provide some new reliable information with pictures, we're all just uselessly guessing here.

 

That looked like the inner boot on the axle. That one's a pain to replace...might be easier to just replace the axle. It also looks like in the 4th picture your harness isn't plugged into the temp sensor there.

thanks Creator gonna have to check that out in the morning when its daylight thanks, but have to check with hubby on that!!! took me two hours (taking my sweet time, trying not to mess things up while hubby is at work) to take out and put in my condensor just now and realize that I did not put discharge line in because the discharge line was taken out a couple of months ago.... kick myself in the ***...

 

thanks... havent touched anything yet since I've post this thread... beside condensor... thermostat is in there... just broken the new motor with 1000+ miles... just when i jacked the car up i noticed the leaks underneath...

 

you guys have closer pictures or sites of and how the discharge hose from the condensor should sit with/between the stock radiator? so far i have found pictures of crx's with smaller radiators (i think its the eg radiators?) or should i change my stock radiator to eg radiator? cause after i notice that I did not put the discharge hose in, I tried to put it in but gave up because it got to dark outside to quick....

so for i have done is take out the condensor finally...

update the photos... and sorta worked on the car... hubby did most of the work, I think he thinks that i'm slow or my hands will get dirty? but he is faster and more angrier when it comes to my car... hope the link works... today 9-12-12 finally hook most of the lines and decided to buy a half radiator after seeing that the fan touches the headers... another purchase I need for my car... He is gonna have to worry about that slow leak after the new tires and radiator...
