b16 coolant problem
I have a coolant problem. My car overheats, and when I shut the engine off, tons of coolant leaks from either the radiator, or the lower hose.? What would cause this, water pump? what?
Please help, no one would answer in CRX forum, bastards..... Brian |

You mean the reservoir, no, it's leaking out of the bottom of the radiator, not the reservoir, I'm thinking the thermostat is stuck

So when your driving on the freeway or on the roads it overheats? Do you have a stock radiator? Now are you sure that it leaks from the lower hose>? I think that it's the radiator it self and not the hose. And if it is the radiator then your screwed. Meaning that you would have to get new/used radiator. Once it leaks their no real way of fixing it. Their is a temporaly way get some (JBweld). Do you smell coolant when your driving? I really don't think that it's the water pump because if it was then there wouldn't be a circulation of coolant.I sounds like you need to get a new/used radiator.
tell what you found. |

Re: b16 coolant problem
This seems kinda pointless to talk about, the radiator is probably the easiest thing to take in or out of your car, just unbolt it disconnect the hoses and fan, check them and it for cracks.
