My civic 2002 automatic, yesterday I left it working with a/c also and taking with a friend beside. Then we found all coolant water dropped on ground underneath the car below the motor and driver side!! not under the radiator directly. the heat sign go to near H.
I make the car off for 15 min untill temp go down and then opened the radiator cover found it empty.
I fill it with water and run it for many kilos with a/c working, nothing happened again from yesterday.
some says water pump, some says hoses and I am not sure what was the problem and if it could happen again?

Why would you drive a car that has just pissed out all its coolant with finding the leak first? And running plain water in the system can cause serious corrosion issues.

You need to find out where the leak is and then immediately drain that water out, repair the leak, fill and flush with distilled water a few times and then run Honda coolant only in the system.

It sounds like the water pump has gone. I would not run the engine for more than a few minutes.

Thanks scooty for your advice.
I fill it to go to the mechanist, other wise i could not run it.
but I still not understand why there is no more leakage for more than 2 days after this happen!?
