Hello, I've been chasing a coolant leak for awhile. Seems to be worse on the driver side. I don't know **** about cars so I'm sorry if this isn't enough info.
It's a 2010 Honda Civic LX Coupe
Any ideas? I feel like it's the radiator.
Checked the oil and it's clear. Also nothing white and thick or evident coming out of exhaust.
Are you able to figure anything out from underneath? Why the aftermarket rad cap? Is it the cause of the leak? Check the small hose going to the reservoir, it could have a slow leak as well.

I just bought it to replace the old radiator cap, just to rule out that being the problem. That was the only one they had available.
I got underneath and I’m having a hard time finding the leak
OKay, so I rented a pressure tester from O'Reillys and still cannot find a damn leak. The PSI went down super slow over 20-30 min and then stayed put around 15 PSI.
