First off I have a 89 Honda Accord Coupe LXI with 120,000miles. I was wondering if anybody has had this problem before, i was driving around town just fine, it started to overheat, few days later, (yesturday) as i was driving down the block to park it, oil starts draining out, i got to my garage and it just kept coming, I bought a new thermostat(for the overheating) and new oil filter and oil. i bought a new oil filter, even though i just rescently changed my oil, because i found that is were it is all coming out of. doing that, i changed it, started it up... and it still starts to go leaking all crazy, when the car is off, it doesnt leak anything, if the car is cold, runs for few sec, then starts leaking. and when it starts to leak, it starts to come down like crazy, so when it does, i turn off the car, and it stops. please let me know asap on anything you may know. this is like my only car for driving, because my mini is bien restored!!

The oil pressure switch is just above the oil filter. Is the oil coming from there? Oil filters leak usually because there is an old gasket on the engine side when putting on the new filter. Make sure there is only one gasket. Some of the newer cars have a oil cooler between the block and the oil filter. There is a O ring between the two that keeps the oil from leaking out.

I had a small coolant hose burst under the intake manifold like 2 months ago. It was almost pooring the coolant as fast as i could put it in.
