If the radiator is cracked go with an aftermarket one, the oem is way over priced.

Well the OP never said where the leak came from, but the stock plastic end tanks on honda radiators tend to fail around 100k.

I went to his house to help yesterday and I couldn't see where it would have come from. I didn't look too hard as he was just going to get another anyways because he broke the part that is under the rad. cap, the little tube that goes to the over flow.

He did a great job on installing his top however. It looked good, but there were some minor fitment issues that I couldn't figure out.

Check on the thermostat also, last time I installed my built motor, my thermo are not working, so the antifreeze pushed back into the reservoir, then splashed everywhere on my engine bay.

But the temp gauge are in normal, even my car ran about 30 mins.
