Could you please explain what is wrong and why these need replaced?

You can go to sites like HondaPartsNow.com and look up diagrams and names of parts to see what you need.

 

both are leaking... i know my radiator fluid is leaking pretty much under neath my engine. i was told it wasleaking out of my ehgaust. my last post explains in more detail woth pics of where its leaking. my power steering is leaking. and i wanna say its my presure hoses.. but the main reason why i want to replace everything is so i no longer has to worry about it in the future. i will know when i replaced the hoes. i bought this car with all these problem, so i want to replace everything...

 

Where is your power steering fluid leaking from? Could you post some pictures of it?

My power steering pump was leaking onto my belts but I rebuilt it with an 18$ rebuild kit by Gates from ebay.

Your coolant could be leaking from any variety of places. I seriously doubt it is coming from your exhaust. It is most likely leaking above and dripping onto your exhaust. I would agree with one of the replies in your previous post that the distributor o-ring is leaking and dripping oil onto your heater hose. My 97 Wagon was leaking and when I replaced the inside and outside distributor o-rings I did the hose as well because it was swollen twice it's normal size due to the oil and would have burst soon. You may also want to look and your thermostat housing, that is kind of over the exhaust and could be the source of the leak.

Has any work been done to the car recently and how long has this leak been occurring?

Sorry Man , I had posted pages from the FSM to help you but then reread the forum rules to be sure and saw that it would be a violation. I can't give you the pages but I can tell you that the factory service manual is easily found via google.

 

to tell you the truth man, my story with this car is i bought it thinking there was nothing major wrong with it (not saying there is major problems) because of the person i bought it from. i always heard hondas were cheap and cheap on gas.. i got it for that reason. i love the way it drives and everything eles. i have two kids who likes to go places so 20 bucks to fill my tank up is amazing. so no doubt i love this car, but this damn thing is stressfull. my engine light is on (took it to serval places to get it dianoised, all say different things.) so thats a problem, my srs light is on at the moment im not worried about that for the simple fact that i know that problem..so this car has became my project, so i figure id replace everything instead of fixing one thing then anorher thing faults out.. with all that being said, i figure i stop all my leaks so im not losing any fluids, then go to why my car shakes in idle, then find out why sometimes my engine runs rough when first starts, then anything eles that comes along the way.... and to answer your question about work, as far as i know nothing new is on it i bought it about 2 months ago, and i guess it was dripping a little and never noticed it until maybe a month ago... never really worked on cars before, my parents always bought my cars with nothing wrong with it so ive never had to chance. this is really MY car and i want MY car to run just as well as a new car or close to it. im not stupid so i know how to put back together what was taken off ya know. i just dont know the tech talk lmao.

would ex and lx be the same?

 

You said you had a VTEC so I assumed you had an EX and gave you the appropriate links.

For engines, LX is non-VTEC, EX is VTEC

Here are links for rebuilding your power steering pump.

Seriously man, You have to start searching for your own information. Everything you could ever want to do to your car has been done before and is documented somewhere on the internet. I have lurked on this and other Honda sites for years looking and finding the information I've needed as I've owned several old Honda Civics and Accords. It is frustrating for forum users to see you asking for them to spend their time finding you a solution while also explicitly stating that the you haven't even spent any of your own time trying to find the solution.

The FAQ and search function on all of the Honda forum websites are your friend.

Google is your friend.

Youtube is your friend

 

Replace heater hoses, iacv hoses and fitv hoses. Even if they look good, once you remove them and put them back on there will be cracks in the hoses from twisting and moving a old peice of rubber. Trust me on this one. Any hose that is undone needs to be replaced.



The,leak on your exhaust is from the water pipe at the back of your block leaking. It connects to the backside of the water pump and thermostat w:ill only get,worse and start spraying around the entire engine bay eventually. You will need,to order the pipe and end gaskets separately from Honda. I dunno, but in my h series engine there is a knock sensor nearby the water pipe which can easily break when working around there.

 

okay so hereis what i did.... drive it around the block until it heated up past normal. when it did i looked under my hood and past my egr and whatever that is connected to my engine and seen a little hose with two small holes it squirting out... let it cool over night and took my egr out and realized i cant get it from the top. so i went under mycar and ripped it out ( it was a bitch to get out only because i could really see what i was doing) ripped it out and cut it behind those two holes. put it back where it goes, no more leak.... BUT NOW my car sputters. goes up and down stays between 1000 and 1500 rmps (1&1.5rmps) someone told me my tps and idk how to check that really dont know where that it.... and someone eles told me i may have air in my coolant system idk how that would be possible or how to fix that.. any one have any suggestions of what that may be? itvonly doesnt it when i start it up and like maybe 5 mins when im at a light or something.. drives normal..

 

sorry for my poor gammer and misspelled word lmao.

 

You need to bleed your system by cracking open that 12mm head bolt that faces the sky for a few seconds while the car is idling and closing it after it sprays out all its air and only coolant comes out in about two seconds or so.

Just a quick open and close.

 

where is that at. i have a few 12mm bolts

 

The bleeder for the coolant is on/near the t-stat housing....where the lower hose connects to the engine. Again it is a bleeder bolt (just like the brake system) so it will have a "hole" in the center of it.
