I have a 1994 Honda accord ex. It is leaking anti freeze and we replaced 4 different hoses which were cracked and leaking. Now there seems to be fluid (anti freeze) coming from the top of the engine block? I am assuming, it is in front of the driver seat at the back of the main engine block below where the wires that attach from one side of the engine to the other...I do not know what anything is called. I need a diagram of the engine. Anyway, it is definately leaking antifreeze and Now I am guessing maybe the water pump. The car is smoking and smells like antifreeze and it is overheating a little on the gage in the dash. Since we replaced all the hoses it has only been leaking a little but yesterday it started smoking and when we lifted up the hood and looked it seemed to be coming up close to the driver side near the windshield. When I looked it was bubbling and flowing down what I am guessing is the engine block. and when I looked on the ground it was flowing antifreeze to the curb. It was kind of a lot.
Please help....
If your antifreeze is leaking into your engine oil, it will destroy the engine quickly. Check the level of both. But...you need to get a pressure gauge on it to apply pressure to the cooling system to see where the coolant is going first. White smoke is a sign of coolant in the engine oil.
Hello, it seems you have a bad water pump, the smoke comes from the antifreeze touching hot engine parts that causes steam which looks very much like smoke. I recommend you do not drive the vehicle in this condition to avoid damage to internal engine parts. If you need the engine diagram please let me know, I'll be glad to send you one. God bless.

I could use a diagram of the engine. My email address is [email protected]
Thank you for you help. I am thinking that is what it is too. Could we do that type of repair, the water pump by ourselves. We only have basic tools. Is that something we can buy at a junk yard and install?
looking at your response you are not qualified to do this job, and no you can't buy these parts at the junkyard, these will have to be new parts, the install will require many tools, basic will probaly not do, don't be cheap here, have a shop do this before you destroy the engine, no kidding around here, this is dead serious advice.
take it to a shop and have it pressure tested, don't be cheap here, you will burn up the engine if you keep driving it this way and be out $1000's!
