Coolant and Power Steering Leak.

[student302]

So, a bit of back history. I bought my first car 3 months ago, not knowing a ton about cars, I've been relying on friends to try and fix it up. It's a 1995 Honda Civic SI Coupe (D16Z6). Car needed a new clutch, bit of body work, and needed to fix a pretty bad oil leak.

I recently swapped in a B18B1, test-drove it around the blcok last night and found out the transmission is shot.

This morning I woke up, went to check on it (wasn't run at all since last night), and there are 2 massive leaks, coming from I don't know where.

Power Steering:
The power steering is leaking directly under the resivoir, I've checked the hoses and everything appears to be tight, I have no idea where it's coming from as the resoivoir and all the hoses from what I can see, are clean and don't have any fluid on them

Coolant Leak:
The coolant is leaking from directly under the center of the car, about where the drivers/passengers seats are, all the way to the trunk. I took some pictures of this as I have no idea where it's coming from, and why it's leaking so much even when the car is not running.

First clean the entire engine with some degreaser to get rid of the fluid that has already leaked. For the cooling system, you will need to pressure test the system and check for the leak. For the power steering, clean all around the reservoir and check while the car is running.

Thanks. I cleaned the engine and have checked. It appears that somehow it's leaking right near the firewall somewhere. As my carpets inside by the front seat / under the dash are wet.

I've checked the power steering, cleaned the reservoir and checked all the hoses, but i can't the leak.

I'll update once I've found more, Lights suck in my garage so I'm trying to find a few bright lights to take a better look.

If its leaking inside the car then your heater core is leaking.

That doesn't sound good. I just thought it was leaking into the car because of a loose hose on the firewall or something.

Haha nope its not good. Its pretty simple to replace tho.
