Opened up my IACV today only to have a bunch of green liquid rush out of it. In the pics below, you can see some left of the valve as well as a puddle of it beneath my engine. What is this/Does this point to an issue somewhere?

 

dude thats coolant..if im not mistaken because one of those lines are coolant lines.

thats normal.

 

This guy is right, that's completely normal.

 

I figured it was something simple like that, but wasn't sure as I'm not all that familiar with IACVs.

 

That's VTEC fluid.
Very important.

 

It is coolant. But it's green type. I'd recommend the honda blue. It's oem. I think even billman recommends it as it's better protection against corrosion in our aluminum systems

 

^^^ this!!!

I hope you didn't just let it spill on the ground. If ants or other insects crawl into it, you could have a horror movie type situation on your hands. You should probably call the Army and let them know ASAP!

 

Don't listen to any of these people, it's really your flux capacitor fluid! You leaked out a lot, now you won't be able to produce enough gigawatts to get into VTEC!!



Just kidding. Change that coolant to the honda blue one and make sure you bleed the cooling system as well. Have fun!

 

Idle fluid, without it goats would be throwing watermelons at tall buildings in order to stop tom cruise from traveling back in time and ordering a pizza from mcdonalds.

Dont worry, youll need a new motor.
