Re: coolent leak!

Are there two coolant lines that run to the throttle body like on a 7th gen? They may be cut or pinched.

That is not a blown head gasket!

Probably just a popped coolant hose. Inspect your hoses and you will probably find it. If it pools up around the intake then start there.

Re: coolent leak!

I'd inspect all the hoses, resevoir, cap, etc. and make sure its not those. good luck!

Re: coolent leak!

Check your radiator for a crack. In my 1990 CRX, the air intake had a mount attached to my radiator. If that mount is leaned on hard enough, it'll crack. it'll eventually shoot antifreeze all over the place once the car gets hot enough.
