Are your suggestions 'generic?' If so, I already know how to diagnose
coolant loss and head gasket leaks. Did you read my post? I am not
looking for generic advice, I am seeking posts from those particularly
experienced with 1995 era Civics with the 1.5 who can cite the exact
locations of coolant leaks observed and discovered. This is the
purpose of a Honda group, i.e. for those directly involved with Hondas
to share their experiences with other Honda owners, etc.
