Default Cooling System Problems

I got my swap back in beginning of January. I was having problems with not getting heat last winter ... I replaced the thermostat and it didn't help much ... then I was blowing fuses which I replaced (That was caused by my antenna)... and I got my heat back for some strange reason. Everything was fine up until around the beginning of July when I started getting a puddle of coolant under my car after I drove it. About a week after this started happening, while I was sitting in traffic at a light one day, I noticed the temp gauge start to go up ... it only got up to between the middle mark and the top mark. I shut off the engine until the light turned green then pulled over right away. This slight overheating problem happened because I hardly had any fluid in the radiator I think.

I thought the radiator was leaking and causing this stuff so I replaced it ... once I did that it was a lot better I had no leaks that I could tell ... but I still had to put some coolant in the overflow bottle about every week or so... I figured this was just air bubbles in the line. Then about three weeks ago I was sitting in traffic again, and my upper radiator hose blew. It didn't blow off ... the clamps were on securely, it blew right in the middle. I replaced that. Now a couple days ago I noticed I was leaking AGAIN. This time it is coming from my inlet heater hose (On passenger side). It has a small leak which coolant is spurting out of. I am not sure but I may have another leak as well. I think it's a bit unusual that hoses are starting to leak/burst at the same time.

Even though I have had these leaks the temp gauge has stayed where it's supposed to be ... except for that one time. Let me know your thoughts as to what is going on.


Oh and BTW ... could someone give me info as to what hoses I should buy. I think I am going to replace all the hoses just to be safe. I just need to know what type I should get (i.e. 94 accord passenger side heater hose). I have a 1994 Accord with a 92-95 JDM H22A.
