I got a 96 prelude and been having overheating issues,im loseing rad fluid,someware,it has a new rad,cap,and hoses,i got to put water in it every day,when it gets low on fluid,it comes out from someware i cant see ware from,any idea?

 

Is there white smoke coming out your exhaust? If so could be a blown headgasket.

 

You have to find your leak first.

 

Check your hoses and tighten the clamps down.

 

I checked the head gasket and its fine(And over tighten one of the bolts and it snapped off,fuck I need a new 1.)WTF is wrong with this POS?Fucking Hondas',I always thought they were reliable!I always owned toyota!Now I remember why.

 

Actually I bet the thermostat didn't seal completely when someone put a new one in...either that or they broke off one of the I believe 10mm bolts on there allowing it to leak at pressure. The therm housing is connected to the other end of the lower rad house.

 

just had this problem and thought it was head gasket turned out the sleve had a hair line crack in it and when it got got it would send all the pressure to the over flow good luck man

 

water pump?

 

edit... sorry didnt see the part about the new radiator.

 

I had that problem once.... i cracked my radiator and didnt know it so about a week or so i kept having to add water. so then the crack got worse and i noticed it. so i changed the radiator, samco hoses, thermostat housing, and thermostat( it was sticking and thats how my radiator cracked)... so when i put the new thermostat in the gasket didnt sit right and for weeks i kept losing water so i had to take it back off which is the biggest pain in the ass, and i put high temp sealent and put it on right.. and havent had a problem since... you might want to check all your sensors, radiator fan switch, anything that could be causing it to over heat
