i have a coolant leak from my coolant system obviously.. it's weird it only leaks a little bit.. it's not when the car is running all day long it's when it's cooling down. just a little bit collects on the fan shroud. Replaced the upper rad. hose and still leaks.. do you think it could be my LS header on my GSR???? i think the backpressure is too great and it's blowing out my radiator or something!!$@Q?? WTF should I DOOO?



my car is a 1995 integra gsr white 2dr 5spd just so you know.. i don't want any confusion

oh yea I have a jdm HID front end.. would that make a difference?

 

Do you have the honda special vtec lubricant? that was the problem on my friends car, didnt lube the vtec cam lobes to proper spec on the rotors

 

are you sure the vfec engagement would have anything to do with coolant leaking from my coolant system? It's driving me nutsssss

 

damn dude, im sorry, i wish you the best of luck in fixing this ****, TTT!

Backpressure in the exhaust should have nothing to do with a coolant leak. Too-high pressure in the cooling system would be the radiator cap's fault.

My guess from here, is your radiator upper tank is leaking. Maybe you'll have to pressurize it cold in order to find the leak. If you suspect high pressure it wouldn't hurt to get a new cap.

 

my upper rad tank? i didn't know there were 2 tanks on these systems.. isn't it just the coolant resivour tank

 

There's only one reservoir. What I'm talking about is part of the radiator. The plastic top which includes the big hose nipple & the neck for the radiator cap. Sometimes the plastic cracks, sometimes it begins separating from the metal radiator core. If that's where it's leaking, there isn't much to do except buy a new radiator.

 

on the top part of the radiator do u see green residue. cuz if so the raditaor is going bye bye. a way to be sure is clean off an coolant thats in the area of where its leaking , that way u can get a better look for the leak.

 

ahhh hahaha i checked my waterpump bearings and they were leaking phew i'm glad i got rid of that problem.. thanks anyway guys

You might want to keep an eye on the upper tank of the radiator anyway. Just to make sure it's still OK...

 

pw3d I know exactly where my coolant leak is.. i was seeing how many people would respond to my "n00l3 type question"

don't you love pinholes on the top of the radiator mm mm good
