1992 Honda Civic DX issue
I have the vehicle named above. This morning after driving to work, I
noticed that the engine temperature was much higher than normal, and there was coolant on the ground. Then I tried the heat in the car, and only cool air would blow out from the heater. I turned off the car immediately. I don't know if this is the water pump, a hose, or the radiator. I have an appointment with my mechanic in a few days. Can I drive this vehicle at all without damaging it? May I drive it short distances if I watch the heat guage? Thanks for the information... |

You drive this with a leak at your own risk. Top off the tank of
course. That does not guarantee that air won't be in the system. Trapped air can cause local heating and blow a head gasket. Many people go on for weeks or more topping the fluid off regularly. Others do severe engine damage in days. The newer the vehicle the less chance you will get away with it. |

If I where u, I would not drive the auto any more than I have to. Honda's
have aluminum heads which are very prone to wrapage and or breaking. This can be a very expensive proceedure |

Thanks for the > information... An improperly bleeding on certain motors can blow coolant into the pavement caused by steam. Honda permits driving the vehicle as long as the needle does not touch the red mark. |
