Leaking Coolant!
Heres my delema. the other day I went out to get in my car (95 Honda Civic DX with a D15 in it) and there was a slow leak of coolant leaking out, but the car started fine and runs perfect but there is just a slow leak from the drivers side down arround behind the balancer. heres the kicker there is no water or coolant in the oil? Im thinking this might be a faulty water pump? if this is the case How in the hell do you replace it. I got as far as removing the belts and removing the valve cover along with the first 1/4 of the timming cover but im having one hell of a time trying to get the balancer bolt to come loose on the crank. is the thred a reverse thred for hondas or what? (righty loosie, lefty tighty?). Please help! need to get back into my gas sipper as my V8 is sucking the life out of my pockets.

if you are thinking it is your water pump, get underneath the car and look for coolant stains on your oil pan. if the water pump is going bad it will start coming out the seep hole on the pump and will stream down.
otherwise carefully check your hoses. sometimes a leak is very small but due to the pressure going thru the engine it comes out looking like a larger leak than it really is making the crack in the hose hard to find.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

could be your water pipe o-rings too. No the crank bolt is not reverse threaded but is abitch to get off without airtools.
