Help 1990 integra Leak ~~~
 
There was heavy leaks on passenger side, all the liquid was dripping onto the carpet.
-leaks only when motor and the fan is running
-leaks for 3 min then it stops
-low coolant level, (not sure if is part of the problem)

The liquid colour is white assuming is water.

Smell cinnamony or sweet?

Could be the heater core, burst hose?

OTG-ZR2 12-24-2011 10:12 PM

Heater core?

Check your coolant level....

RRxtar 12-24-2011 10:15 PM

:troll:

is the substance slightly greasy feeling??

could a leak in the cooling system or a clear leak that smells like gas probably is gas and could signify a fuel system leak

Very common problem known as "passenger floor leak" haha. G2IC - Damn Passenger side water leaks!! 56k no no and/or http://forums.g2ic.com/showthread.ph...enger-leak-fix.

ok.. i just took the teg out for a spin.. here is what i found out

-starts car i notice it leaks when the fan is turned on.
- clear liquid HEAVY leaks for about 3 minutes then stops.
- Liquid is clear white
-(hot engine) I popped the hood then coolent (green) level is very very low. Coolant hose has minimum to no pressure at all.

This might be another problem... i think my engine is burning coolant..??

Does it only leak when the motor is running?

Top off your radiator, and monitor the levels. If it's evident that the coolant is going somewhere, pressure test the cooling system.

Bahhbeehhaaaa 12-24-2011 11:19 PM

yes, it only leaks when motor is running. Ok i'll test the cooling system tmr, is too dark right now too see anything

Why'd you delete all your posts? What if someone else has the same problem? Now if they search it, they come up with nothing and we have to help them all over again.

Bahhbeehhaaaa 12-26-2011 12:01 PM

okok.

fliptuner 12-26-2011 12:31 PM

It's probably your heater core. It was only leaking when the engine was hot because the heat makes pressure and with the engine running, the coolant was circulating and made it's way to the heater core leak. The heater core is located just above the passenger floor area. The fluid only looks clear but in quantity, is green. It should feel greasy or oily, unlike water.

Bahhbeehhaaaa 12-26-2011 09:16 PM

the leaking stopped. =/ maybe it was the heavy rain that triggered it =/
