Hello All,

I have a 97 Honda Civic EX. My issue is my Honda keeps overheating. My mechanic knowledge is limited but here is what I noticed.
The car overheats in about 30 minutes of driving.
The car will overheat faster if I turn on the AC.
The anti-freeze gets pushed out from the reservoir.
After the car overheats and I turn off the car to allow it to fully cool down, much of the anti-freeze has been push out through the reservoir.
There is no milky oil.

Here are the things I have done:
Changed out the thermostat, thermo sensor, and the head gasket because it was blown.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Frank

You may need to replace the radiator, due to corrosion or mineral buildup. Only use a 50/50 mixture of recommended antifreeze and distilled water.

Thanks for suggestions. I just took the car to get inspected by two shops and they say the radiator is in good condition. I also had it flushed to make sure it was clean. Any other ideas? Thanks again.

Check the water pump.

Check your fan if you fan doesn't turn on when your temp is half way that's it but I had a lot that the wires shorted out so check the wires before changing fan
