So after being under my car for a couple days I've noticed small amount of engine coolant drips. I haven't started the car in a couple weeks and I'm wondering what the problem could be.

Probably a leak. But that is just a wild guess.......

Are you sure it isn't blinker fluid?

Apex seals, cheaper to swap an LS in than fix it.

Where are the coolant drips? How do you know its coolant and not condensation? Why have you nto started your car in 2 weeks?

Where did you buy the car from?

True, True. A civic is probably the way to go.

It is a bright green color, and it is dripping onto the air dam. I haven't started it because I'm in the process of replacing the clutch and fixing all the very "crafty" work the previous owner had done. Also just resurfaced the flywheel.

Wouldn't doubt it, however I am not the one responsible for the tears wept.

Sorry! I didn't realize this was the new members area, thanks for being a good sport.

Check the three radiator hoses into the radiator (big ones on the top and bottom, and then the small one at the top). The smaller one is pretty easy to crack on an older rad if you mess with anything near it.

You may even have an actual radiator leak, or your coolant bottle may have a hairline crack near the fill neck. Are you sure it's not coming from the coolant overflow?
