The aftermarket failed engine overheated a few times just eough to start the small leak...changed the WATERPUMP / TB to OEM ACURA PARTS no problems since --
MORAL OF STORY : dont go generic on important engine parts or you pay more in the future!

^^^ update on my response from last year ...finally blew the headgasket at 190-192K that gasket was rotten to the core when I finally got to see it in person.
