Default 91 Accord overheating

What could be the problem if my Accord is leaking water and spotting oil? Radiator won't hold water for too long, seems like the pump is ok but warm water is leaking out the bottom.
Thanks.

You need to describe this a lot more to get any worthwhile help. From where, how much, when does it happen, when did it start, etc.

It overheated, leak appears to be outside of radiator, up against it just right of the fan near the bottom. oil leaks appear to be from the spark plug area.
Thanks.

Oil leak could be a bad spark plug o-ring.

Is the water leak anything more than a bad radiator or hose? I don't quite understand the mystery there, it seems like something you could find pretty easily yourself.

use the search feature... i posted a thread about this not too long ago.

im not sure what exactly happend from your info, but if water is leaking out of your radiator replace it.

if the car did overheat, you may have lost the head gasket causeing the radiator to blow, so do a compression check before you start any work.

honestly changing the head gasket along with an engine rebuild wasn't that bad so if it is blown and you know some basic mechanics you should be fine. most of the information you can get on here, like how to do a compression check.

i also suggest CB7tuner.com for some very nice DYI's

Good Luck, Welcome to HAN.. and be a little bit more specific!
