Honda Repair: Honda Accord Anti-Freeze leak 95-accord, gasket leaks, radiator replacement


Question
Ok so about 3 months ago I changed my radiator, I have a 95 Accord DX 4 cyl 2.2l, 210K miles (about, the odometer works 50% of the time), I changed the radiator because it was leaking, DIY. Hoses are def. on right, but now its started leaking out the engine block for sure. It is coming from the right side of the block some where almost under the airfilter/battery but a bit more to the center, I can't figure out exactly where but thats as far as I could trace, its popping out under the tranny by the passenger front tire. It's leaking at a fairly fast pace, someone said I should assume its a gasket, what do you think and whats the cost of getting this fixed at a shop?

Answer
Hi Richard,

I would say that it is not due to the radiator replacement. I think you have to look at one of these: first would be the heater hoses which come off of the back of the block and go into the heater control valve and the firewall. also there are a few little bypass hoses that carry coolant as well. I have also seen the thermostat gaskets leak and also the water pipe which is attached to the thermostat housing. I think you'll find one of these leaking. The best way to find  leak is by pressurizing the system. I have seen very few head gasket leaks on these accords. Hope this helps and please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.
