Default Help! Coolant loss.

Hello all,

My 1991 Civic Wagon just developed a big coolant leak. Luckily no permanent damage yet. It's not one of the hoses. The leak is just below the spark plug wires distributor. Is that where the water pump is? It's very close to the thermostat housing.

Many thanks.
Sam

Sounds like a leak from either the 1-wire temperature sending unit or the 2-wire ECT sensor.
