The easiest thing to do is start the car up and see if anything is dripping or squirting. It could be the coolant hoses, over flow tank, a damaged radiator, a leaking radiator cap, or a bad thermostat seal. It could also be (god forbid) a head gasket on its way out.
How do you know it's leaking coolant? Tailpipe smoke? Low coolant level? Steam under hood?

That's a start. Check the soft lines for leaks and the overflow tank. Those are usually the first to go.

I agree with beater and those are the cheapest parts to swap.

Near both tires? What do you think Beaters, radiator leak? Hoses are usually obvious (sprays all over your engine bay). Radiator cap is easy to check as well.

I'd say it's the radiator hoses. Replace them all, they are cheap and relatively easy to install. make sure you get all the air bubbles out of the system or you will be overheating. Once you've finished the hoses, start the car and knead them with your hands to get all the air out. You will probably need to add more coolant once you are done this. Good luck!

Hey try checking you radiator plugs (2) at the bottom right corner make sure its not stripped. Also if the radiator in plastic on the top and very bottom but iron or aluminum in the middle you will have to check really careful where the plastic and aluminum join together could hair a hairline crack but once you start the car and it get hot and pressurize then its runs out fast. Hope this helps I have a 93 accord also..for 12 years now and still doing well. This was the solution offered to me by one of the experts in Fixya. Here's the link to the site: 1993 Honda Accord V6 Sedan - Leaks fluids - FixYa.
I hope this helps! |
