Is it typical for the top seal of original radiator in a '91 Integra to begin to fail @ 23 years of use ?
It is loosing radiator fluid about 8 oz ( .250 L) every 2-3 days but not much more than that afterwards (slowly looses more but not drastically)
No obvious drips/puddles or leaks underneath after driving .
I noticed the Top seam around the radiator top is wetted with radiator fluid. It is original radiator and appears to be constructed with folded tabs holding the top on radiator. I am supposing that there is a rubber seal in the seam and is probably failing ??
No chance of successfully fixing that ?
So, if radiator is replaced what other work and replacement should be done at that same time since it looks like alot of stuff, hoses and such must be removed/disconnected.
Thanks for any helpful advise, robb
BTW
is alt.autos.acura not used anymore ? looks like low traffic ? where have all the Acura-ians been displaced/moved to ?
