Wheres my antifreeze going???
I decided to check my fluids yesterday...
-Antifreeze Resovoir EMPTY
Opened the rad cap...didnt see anything.
So i filled it up to the max line yesterday.
Checked it this morning, its below the min line!
Something I got...
-Hondata IM gasket. Which seems fine. I cant fine a leak around it. Any other ideas? I dont see white smoke.

Check it while your car is running. Check all of your hoses, your thermostat, and the top of your radiator. I had a crack in the top of my radiator and had to have it replaced.
i have the same problem. I thought it was because i still had the stock civic radiator in. (LS in my hatch)so i swapped in a dual core del sol radiator, same problem???? ANYONE HAVE THE ANSWER TO THIS MYSTERY!?
I would first check the most obvious place...the radiator for cracks.
Then, as mentioned above, be sure to inspect the ends of your coolant hoses, and see if you see any leaking. Sometimes you may hear a hissing if its bad enough. I would check the hoses for leaks, theres a good chance there is your problem.

Did you check your Oil? It could be seaping into your oil still... however it could be a leaky hose that does not start leaking until the temp and pressure get up, let the car run for a while in the driveway and see what happens.

make sure that when you refill the radiator, to leave the cap off and let the air buble out of the system. Maybe you just have too much air in the system and thats where the coolant is going.
our radiators have plastic top and bottom tank covers. i've seen them go out as early as 30,000 and mine just went out at 110,000. there is only one core in it so it gets worked pretty heavily. DO NOT REPLACE YOUR RADIATOR WITH A STEEL UNIT!!! it will take a lot longer to heat up and it also will turn into a rusty mess after a year or so. my suggestion is a PWR, FLUIDYNE or Koyo. all are really nice aluminum rads and if they ever blow a seam you can always get them repaired for a lot cheaper than i towuld cost to buy a new OEM one (765). I should know i have worked at an Acura dealership as a service advisor for quite some time now
