Default Re: 93 Prelude SI using antifreeze. Help!


My son's 155,000 mile 93 SI has gradually been using more & mor
antifreeze. It recently went through a quart in 600 miles. I hav
thouroughly inspected for leaks and can find none. Water pump is fairl
new and no leak at the weep hole. No sign of antifreeze in oil, no foam i
valve cover. No sign of antifreeze in the transmission fluid. No smoke o
steam from exhaust. No antifreeze smell inside the car like a heater cor
leak

The only thing I see is a very slight greenish tinge on all 4 spark plu
ground electrodes. Is there a gasket some where or a known problem wher
antifreeze could be getting drawn in through the intake tract? The car i
in great shape. I need to get this figured out before it gets worse
if your seeing a slight greenish tinge of antifreeze on your spark plug electrode
you have the "early stages" of a head gasket leak! get looked at ASAP before it
worsens and starts harming your engine. :
