    Default 1995 Integra GS-R leaking Coolant but not overheating.

    Last night i noticed that my integra was smoking and it was coming from the openings around my headlights. I instantly thought radiator. So i opened my Hood and saw smoke(steam) coming from around the radiator. My coolant reservoir is filled to the Minimum line and i can see coolant below the radiator. The only think that i dont get is why is my engine not overheating? The thermostat does work. Recent maintenance done to the car was new belts (Alternator,Ac And timing) and Water Pump. The Car has 144,000 miles.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    find the leak soon though. after heating it up you can try to see where it is coming from or do it while it's running. the radiator cap wouldn't do this would it. could be a clamp to the upper or lower rad hose, that's where i found mine 2 weeks ago after i shut the car off and heard a pssshhh. if you let it keep going you will overheat at redlights etc.
