well, for a while now i have been bitching about the stupid Sk2 intake manifold and how i have a slow leak of coolant somewhere on it. well, today i looked over and i saw this on my radiator:





its pretty much coolant on the top where u can see it, throughtout the whole thing. anyone ever seen this? does that mean my radiator is curtains?

Its not that expencive... Can you clean it up and see where the leak is coming from? also see if you can get a different radiator cap, it might not be sealing correctly. Just trying to save you money...

How many miles are on your teg?

Are you overheating at all?

Are you loosing a lot of coolant?

the plastic radiators on integras are known to fail.

if you noticed coolant levels dropping or higher operating temperatures, you might want to check for leaks or damage to the radiator.

My radiator did the same thing around 100k. We just got another one put in. Replacement radiators aren't too expensive, but now is a great time to get a Koyo or Fluidyne radiator.
