I found a puddle of of coolant under the car one day. Refilled it. It was fine the next day and had a mechanic pressure tested it with no sign of leaks the next day. A couple of weeks later on the drive to work got a warning overheating message on the dash. Had to add coolant again but no leaking noticed or loss of coolant the next morning. Had the mechanic look it over that morning and said a seal was bad on the radiator. I hope this was a fluke and I'm not having it go bad in the next few years. I can't believe this isn't covered in the Honda 5/60 powertrain warranty. Mechanic was surprised at the cost of the OEM radiator and that it was in stock. Says usually they are least 2x as much. The labor charges were 2x as much as the radiator cost.
