42 Servicing Your Honda
Coolant
1. Check the cooling system for leaks (see the
Honda Service Manual for troubleshooting of
leaks).
2. Check the water hoses (1) for cracks,
deterioration, and hose clamps bands for
looseness.
3. Check the radiator mount for looseness.
4. Make sure the overflow hose (2) is connected
and not clogged.
5. Check the radiator fins for clogging.
6. Check the bleed hole (3) below the water pump
cover (4) for leakage. Check for signs of seal
leakage. A small amount of “weeping” from
the bleed hole is normal. See the Honda
Service Manual or consult your dealer for
replacing the water seal or the oil seal. Both
seals should be replaced at the same time.
Refer to Safety Precautions on page19.
