Crazy weird Coolant Leak!
Ok guys, This one has been cookin my noodle for a few months!
I have a 2002 CRV EX.
If I fill the radiator and Expansion Tank to the correct levels, it will leak like CRAZY from ALL over the place. BUT, it stops when the expansion tank is empty. And, the radiator will hold its coolant for a loooong time and it slowly leaks it out over maybe 4 months.
I've removed all the under panels to try and track down the leak, but it just leaks so bad I can't pinpoint it.
Although, I didn't see any leaks on the bottle or hose connecting them.
Any ideas?!?!?!

Thats what I thought too, but it seems to be fine....
Anywho! I drove it yesterday, and it starts overheating while sitting @ stop lights. Once I start driving and get the air flowing it cools down.
I took it home and in a fit of rage tore the whole front end apart, and finally found that the radiator has a grande hole in it!
Ugh!
Well, at least I know what to fix now.....
