95 CIVIC 1.5 GRADUALLY LOSES COOLANT--

The engine runs flawlessly and gets 45 MPG local driving and 54 MPG
highway.

Every 1,000 miles or so, I need to add about a pint of coolant each to
the radiator and the reservoir.

Where should one look with these engines for coolant loss sources? I
would especially appreciate suggestions from those who are familiar
with this engine and this year or series.

Thanks in advance !

I sort of had the same problem with my 90 accord. I constantly monitored
the rad and the reservoir, and I could occasionally notice small puddles
under the car, but had a hard time finding the leak.

My leak was around the thermostat housing, they supposedly fixed it but it
still leaks small amounts. I now top the reservoir from time to time
about once every 2 weeks.
