Hey guys! I’m pretty new to the civic scene, just bought a 1994 civic ex and I replaced the head gasket and basically all of the coolant hoses and heater hoses. Just got done putting everything together and filled it up with coolant and it starts to leak from the bypass hose on the passenger side of the intake manifold. At first I thought the intake wasn’t on all the way so I tightened it down and it slows the leak down a bit but it’s still there. Not sure if it’s the gasket, cracked manifold or what. Thanks for your answers!

You may need to take it back apart to inspect your work.


Assuming you actually replaced necessary gaskets, maybe a chunk of the old intake gasket didn't get removed completely, now the new one can't seal because the surfaces aren't flat.

Yeah you definitely hit the money on that lol. Big chunk of the old gasket right under the coolant passage. Thanks man! I appreciate it!
