I have a 2001 honda civic that has a leak and overheats. What could it be?

 

This question has been answered many times before. Please use the forum search function.

With that in mind, the first thing to do is stop driving the car. If you haven't done so already, you will blow the head gasket, eventually beyond relatively economical repair. Work on tracking down the leak; there are many ways to accomplish this. Easiest is to just, well, look all around the engine bay with a flashlight. It's a good idea to put the car on jack stands, remove the splash guard, and search from below as well as from above. How much coolant are you losing over a given period of time? Feel free to post some pictures.

If you're still struggling, report back with any new findings and we can suggest more invasive ways to determine the root of your coolant loss.

 

If you can not find a leak thn it probalby means you have a blown head gasket this job is about 30-150 for the gasket and the labor might be close to 1,000$

 

What *KIND* of leak? How are your coolant levels? When does it overheat? Please give as much info as you can so we can help you

 

Go through the simple stuff for first like check your thermostat make sure you have coolant and it's no leaks any hoses. If that's all good before you go taking apart the head go to the steps and check and see if the gasket could be leaking. Google how to find out if it's leaking. I had a similar issue and only thing that was wrong was that my radiator was actually clogged
