Water leaking as soon as i put it in radiator
Long story short I've never had the water just instantly go through god knows what down there when I put it in through the radiator reservoir. I'm not sure if I messed something up when I tried to loosen the oil drain bolt this morning but it would not budge I was trying super hard and may have moved something loose or something. Tonight I went out and my car stopped in the middle of the road. I thought it was the usual overheating so I went to put water and it just was not retaining the water like it usually does. I checked the oil and it still had oil maybe a little less than this morning. I didn't have any tools and it was dark so I couldn't check where the water was leaking from. It a 2005 honda civic ex. If anyone has any idea of what might've caused this I'd truly appreciate your input.

would not be unexpected that the overflow bottle has cracked open. it’s age and heat cycles would easilily take its toll, especially if it’s been constantly overheating as you said.
Almoat anytime the oil bolt is too tight, your going the wrong way..
