CodyHenson Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I own a 1997 Honda Accord. I was driving it around and everything seemed just fine but when I got home and parked it and turned it off I heard this "bubbling water" sound. I looked under my car and there was a pretty good bit of water leaking from under. The temperature gauge never went up or anything so I don't think it overheated. Anyone know a possible problem here?

DelSolSweetie Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I would say you have a leak somewhere did you try to.. idk.. pop the hood? inspect the hoses/radiator for leaks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyHenson Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 I would say you have a leak somewhere did you try to.. idk.. pop the hood? inspect the hoses/radiator for leaks? It drips about 2-3 drops of oil everytime I turn it off and park. But the bubbling water sound I thought may be a cracked head or a blown head gasket?

DelSolSweetie Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 you said a good bit of WATER was leaking correct? cracked head is unlikely esp. with no over heating a blown head gasket has many signs.. that is not one of them so.. like i said before.. GO POP THE HOOD.. check for busted hoses or radiator leaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody_754 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Ok I took the car back to the guy I bought it from and he performed a compression and leak check on the engine. He said there were no leaks and the head gasket is just fine. He also said it's not a cracked head. However, I know the problem will still continue because I drove it around for about 2 hours saturday and it started over heating, so I pulled it over and turned it off. I checked the radiator and there was little to nothing left in it! I had to pour a lot of water into the radiator to fill it back up again. I also noticed, if you take the radiator cap off and give it gas, water comes out of the radiator. What the heck is the problem here? If anyone has any ideas at what the problem could be please let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 well, you need that cap on for things to not come out of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 i feel like this guy is trolling because of the ignoring every reply.. we'll try it again though YOU HAVE A frackING LEAK. THATS WHY COOLANT IS NOT IN THE SYSTEM. POP THE HOOD AND CHECK THE HOSES FOR LEAKS.. THEN CHECK THE RADIATOR FOR LEAKS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Then fill it with gas and light match.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross615 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 start the car fill it full of water and if it starts boiling the water out like crazy then it probally is head gasket another way to check is to look at oil dip stick and if your oil looks milky then water has mixed with it caused by head gasket or you can always look at tail pipe while running see if water is driping but more than likely its a bad hose or radiator leak like delsolsweetie said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
