I dont own this car, some guy that lives in th same apartment complex owns it. my buddy and i were smoking a cigarette outside we saw mike messing with his car he asked for a cigg, and asked if either of us knew anything about engines, i told mike yes and i took a look. now i only know how to fix Hondas[img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img] mike said that he needs to fill the radiator about every other day depending on how much he drives, i thought to check the hoses while it was running to see if their was a leak, no leak, now when i looked around the area where the water pump is i noticed a lil to the right of it there was a tiny leak but it wasnt the water pump.

sorry if its a stupid ? Is thier two valve covers one on each side of the engine cause if their is my guess is he needs a new gasket cause the water was "leaking, steaming" threw their.

one more question
does anyone know of a website i could download a free repair manual, or something cause i told the guy i would help he tried to payme but toldem to wait on that till the car is fixed. the reason he doesnt take it to the shop is cause well he did but they said it was the water pump and replaced it for i forget how much, but if someone could help me help this guy it would be greatly appreciated.
