Engine Cooling problem
2001 Acura Integra 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 130000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
so i noticed last few times i worked on my car that coolant was leaking from the back of the motor...it seems to be coming from the side of the motor where the thermostat housing is at...the car does not overheat and my temp gauge reads normal...not sure what it could be...i actualy swapped thermostat housings to see if thats the case..but its not...any ideas??

Hi japostol78,

Apart from the thermostat housing, you should check the pipe to the water pump and heater hoses.

Remember to check your radiator coolant level regularly.

Most auto parts stores will rent the tool needed to pressurize the cooling system so that you can locate the problem.
There are about 6 hoses back there that are common to split or leak.
Pay particular attention to the hose coming off the side of the head, directly under the distributor. It is prone to oil contamination and leakage.
