I have a 1986 Honda Accord that has a leak in the radiator. I can't figure out where the leak is coming from; it's not coming from the radiator hose. When I look underneath the car, I just see the fluid seeping out from the grill. I know nothing about cars, what does it sound like? If it's a leak in the radiator itself, how do I get a better look at the radiator itself? What is the best manual to look for? The Chilton guide? Are there any other hoses I'm not seeing? Thanks.

Take it to a reputable mechanic, don't take it to the dealership, they will rob you. A good mechanic will do a pressure test to find the leak. Since you have a '86 Accord, it shouldn't cost that much. I bought a new radiator for my '93 Acura Integra for under $200 from 1-800-radiators. Yours should be cheaper since it's an '86 Accord.

Take the car in to a radiator repair shop. They can help you find the leak and fix it for you too.

u have an upper and lower hose, if it is not leaking for either hose you will need to replace the radiator.
