    The radiator may be broken, or hoses may have cuts in them.

    Try placing a piece of cardboard underneath the radiator (watch out not to place it somewhere it can ignite), and go for a ride. If it's dripping anywhere, you'll see it on the cardboard after you stop.

    I've had a crack in my '90 Civic radiator up at the top, on the passengers side. I could see white smoke coming out from under my hood during the winter. That and there was green residue on the radiator (due to antifreeze being green). That being said, you could also try cleaning your radiator, so it's nicely black and clean. Then pour colored antifreeze in it, and drive it for a few days. After that, check the radiator to see if there's any antifreeze color on it.

    Sure...

    I'd love to hear what caused this problem (once you figure it out) and how you solved it. Just for my own knowledge.

    Hey, thanks for replied and the help!!
    I fixed the problem on the civic, I discovered that the upper hose connection from the radiotor like a tube, it was cracked and therefore was leaking water, had to replace Radiotor, as the tube was part of the radiotor, it could have been fixed but, I prefer to put in a new radiotor just to be save, car is running and hopefully no problems,
    Thanks...
