    Default overheatin problem with my civic

    So I bought the car and it was ridin good..
    But it seems like I gotta refill the water in the radiator and the reservoir and when I drive it kinda far my water evaporaes you can say..
    Sometimes after I drive the car and I stop and pop the hood I find water around my reservoir or radiator..

    I've heard it could be a blown headgasket,my fan not workin, or my thermostat.
    I dnt kno what to do and its keepin me from getting to work.
    Some1 plzzz help

    make sure you bleed the system too and get all the air out. that could cause the problem too.

    When you check your oil, does it look milky?

    Yea id go with radiator cap first also. Check around the top portion of ur radiator(the plastic looking part) look for any hairline cracks, thats where some of your fluid might be seeping out of. It might be to small to spot right away but once the system begins to build pressure it'll leak through there. Look inside your reservoir make sure there are no traces of oil in the coolant and also pull your oil cap of and look inside of it for a milky (like cofee and milk) substance, these are warnings of a blown head gasket.
