Driving home this afternoon, pulled over to make a call ans the sametime saw my engine bay steaming!!! holy$%#@!!! I quickly checked my water level and saw a tiny pin size hole in the top hose!!! I thought that was the end cause I had to put 2.5L of water in for the thirsty teg!!! Had to cut and shut the hose just for now until I get to work tommorrow and get me a new hose… I just hope I havent blown the head gasket…:shock:

If you lost too much water, and your car overheated, your problems could be much worse than a blown headgasket. I just hope you aren’t planning on driving it with the hose disconnected.

Sorry, what I meant was that I cut the part of the hose that had the hole and re-joined it and drove to work the following morning and ordered a new hose.thats all fixed now and I did a dye test to see if it was blown or not… I know honda motors are very easy to blow the gasket if you overheat them.Ive done a few honda motor head gaskets myself because of slight overheating.😉
