So for the first time in months I washed the LX twice in one day, trailered a boat for 200 miles and noticed radiator loosing coolant. In the past, my passenger floor board would sometimes by lightly damp, I assumed it was from the massive heat under the passenger floor board and the plastic bottomed oem floor mats creating a sweating environment. There was no coolant loss noticeable. Last weekend, I did the above mentioned activities. When I got home the floor board was soaked when I removed the mat. To the point where if I rubbed a towel along the floor it drenched the towel. Checked the radiator and did notice level about an inch down. While trailering around 65-70 mph the temps hovered around 196-204. It was cool out. Around 65 degrees that day.
I thought at first that it was a bad windshield gasket, until I saw the coolant loss. Then I accidentally found the upper area of the firewall damp water was dripping off the wire that goes into the white plastic. I then took the picture attached. Now I am trying to figure out if I have a leaking windshield that happened to leak above this item, and have a head gasket of coolant issue or heater issue too. Too much happening at the same time. Any help or methods of checking would be greatly appreciated.
