A leak in a Honda Civic EX

Asked by Guru9SQM3T Oct 10, 2021 at 01:34 PM about the 2004 Honda Civic EX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have already replaced the lower radiator hose and I have replaced the
thermostat. I also had to replace the coolant reservoir due to it having a huge
hole towards the bottom of it. Now, I was on the hwy and I looked down to
see my car was running very hot. Once it cooled, I put refilled it but it
continued to leak water but the leak is towards the rear of the engine, this
time. What could cause a leak as i've discribed?

Have the cooling system pressure tested and then determine what needs to be fixed. Don't have any work done without a written estimate and then you can decide for yourself if it needs to be repaired or sold depending on the estimate and the value of the vehicle.
