1978 Civic Anti-Freeze/Coolant leak.

My 1978 Hona Civic CVCC is dripping coolant from the lower right hand side of the engine. I dont know where the leak is. My brother took a look and said something in the region of the leak was loose. It wasn't loose tubing, what could it possibly be? will post pictures if necessary

It only leaks when the engine is on.

That's not a leak.
That's sweat. It's sweating from all that horsepower!


I rebuilt one of those like about 30 freekin' years ago.
Those cars don't even exist any more, here in the rust belt.

I can't see a dang thing.
Maybe, just maybe, you should ask your brother exactly WTF he saw.
Or, you know, post some good pics.
