Honda Repair: 84 accord overheating, head gasket, weep hole

Question
I have and '84 accord which is now overheating after about 10 min of drive time. there is a little bit of  white smoke coming out of the exhaust, so it might have a leak into the cylinder.  antifreeze is visably leaking from the belts, so it might be due to tension of waterpump/alternator belt. what else could be the cause? how do i test and find out for sure?


Answer
Chad:
If it is leaking into the cylinder, then the head gasket is blown and I would think you would have a lot of smoke.
Since you can see the antifreeze on the belts it is probably coming from the water pump. The water pump has a weep hole on it so if the inner bearings go, you will know from the leak. You should not drive it at all until you have this fixed or you will warp the head and the engine would be toast.
Good luck.
