You should use the correct antifreeze as listed in your owner's manual. There is 3 types of antifreeze, Ethylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, and HOAT antifreeze. These will be of a different color..
I like to use the prestone antifreeze in the yellow bottle that says "all makes and models". It's not to be used with high-end cars with pink or blue antifreeze, but I've never had a problem using it in a honda.
the head could be cracked also. check the oil if its milky then its the head gasket or head probably. if no then when its running is there alot white smoke that also could be a cracked head or head gasket.the first is antifreeze leeking into the oil system usually cracked head. the second is antifreeze leeeking into the cylinder
so no external leek
The car is 16 years old. Service the cooling system and replace the thermostat, and the upper and lower radiator hoses. Pour in a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water.
Any spillage should have been dry by now . So i would bring it back to your mechanic or where you got your radiator replaced , Possibly there could be a loos hose clamp or a bad hose .hopefully not much more hope this helps give you some direction to go, Thank You. . feel free to let us know if this helped .
Should not be too hard. I have not done one on an 1986 model but I have on a 1983. The principle will be the same.
You need to drain the fluid.
Disconnect all the pump hoses.
Release the pump pivot and adjustment bolts and remove the pump from the vehicle.
Replacement is the reversal of the removal operation.
Tighten all the bolts.
Adjust the drive belt tension.
Fill and bleed the system.
Following the above procedure should get the job done. Take your time doing the job and double check your work at the end of the job. Check for any fluid leeks from the system.
biggest problem with the hondas is they have a bad cooling system, they tend to corrode the fins of the water pump due to the reaction between the full alloy block and the coolant. you should start there then the fan switch and radiator and thermostat.
Your message was cut short. Where does it seem to be leaking? How often do u have to add coolant? countrycurt0
