Ok guys (and gals) got a coolant leak from the passenger side head. It looks to be comming from below the pass. side front intake runner. and it looks to be a very small freeze plug? i have searched the internet (no joy) and gone to the parts stores and no one has seen or heard of a freeze plug...
well i was going to replace the engine oil cooler lines. and noticed radiator fluid comming from the back of the engine block. the passenger side of the valley is wet with radiator fluid so now i have to replace the head gaskets aua But i love this CUCV!
I have had problems with the stock fuel filter rubber gaskets rolling when i put the filter on. so installed a stock civy 6.2 spin on fuel filter and all my filter probs disapered :D

Hopefully some...
