Hey all, i have a question, see if anyone can help me out here.My honda civic dx started leaking water a month back, was from the radiator. replaced it, and all hoses, thermostat check out, but once it heats up it starts to leak below the distributor. only thing i can see that is involved with water under there is the heater hose, but that seems good too. Anyother components that pertain to the cooling that would be belowthe distributor? i sure hope its not the block. it did heat up on me a couple of times before i replaced the radiator and parked it.

 

welcome to the forums.. to me it sounds like a head gasket. the only sure way to be able to tell is if there is water in the oil or visa versa.

 

if you have a rad pressure tester, you might be able to detect air bubbles around the area of the leak.

 

Thanks alot guys. i.ll check into it. head gasket sounds about right though.
