91 accord lx overheating, leaking fluid but no smoke or steam? i have a 91 accord 180,000 miles awesome car but just now started over heating. no smoke or steam are coming out i don't know is that means anything. there is a small leak coming from just around the battery. the fluid is light green i cant see EXACTLY where its coming from its just above the battery somewhere. i placed water in the radiator theres not a leak there or from any visible hoses from what i can tell. i towed it home i can start it and after pacing water in radiator seems to be normal but dont wanna chance it. any help?? water pump or hoses?

Check your belt and water pump.

If it is white smoke maybe cooling system engine overheating and the engine shutting down.Check fluids oil antifreeze make sure there clean an check for leaks or loss of fluid.

Are you referring to smoke or steam? If it's smoke then either oil or fluid may be leaking onto the manifold. If it's steam it could mean that the car is overheating and the radiator is letting off steam.

Hi i am using sch-w193 handset.. I wnt to reset my handset,bt i forgot my password..how to do?

i recommend you don't drive to far and get a mechanic too check it out as you risk overheating and blowing the head gasket which is expensive. You need to get the cooling system pressure checked too find the leak and rectify it. hopefully just a hose but possably a water pump.

make sure your over flow/add coolant bottle is clean...check that the hose from bottle to radiator isnt clogged...also fill add bottle fluid level between add and full mark

From your description of symtoms it sounds like you have a bad water pump. If the coolant is not circulating properly you will have a heating problem. Sometimes even a new thermostat can stick and cause the engine to overheat. I have seen them fail in as little as a week after they were installed.

I had the same problem, whole new radiator, new hoses, new thermostat, and still overheating. What the problem was for me...bad radiator cap...all that money and a $20 fix...try it?

There could be a few things causing this. When the car finally starts, is there any smoke coming out the exhaust pipe? White smoke would mean your headgasket is leaking and is letting coolant into the engine, then it is burned along with the fuel. Does the car run hot? Meaning has it ever overheated? Back to the smoke, if its black, your oil is getting in and is burning.

Now, the reason why it would be hard for a car to start, could be, a leaking headgasket, flooding the car while the car is sitting.

And yes, the car would be able to crank, but just wont start, for a while...because it has to get rid of all that fluid that has leaked into the engine while sitting at night.

Another thing you could look at, is your fuel pump, is it supplying a sufficient amount of pressure? If it isnt, it will take a while for it to pressurize and deliver fuel into the engine. You can check the fuel pump yourself by renting a fuel pump pressure tool from stores like autozone, kragen and more.

Your gas cap on tightly?

Good luck with your problem.

Check the color of the oil if it looks like a chocolate shake you have a blown head gasket
