that looks just like mine tuba. all i can say is that mine has never over heated on me and while it sprays some coolant onto the valve covers, i hardly fill the coolant reservoir like once every 1500 miles.

i'm not saying to not change it tho. it's obviously a leak and it prolly should be tended to with reasonable urgency. taking the radiator out shouldn't be too difficult to do yourself. save yourself an extra $150 and make it a weekend project!

(i should heed my own advise, huh? haha hey wanna do it together once you get yer radiator?)

ill also change my trans lines while im at it, they looked rather shoddy.

I got mine from Partstrain.com. I hadn't have any problems with it yet. Also make sure you get the Honda coolant.

I have that same stuff on mine too but not as bad.. And I just replaced it like a month ago with a brand new one(with lifetime warrenty). and Had my system pressure checked after that and no leaks... I think it might be the hose line that comes from the resavor.. IDK..
