I'm constantly adding antifreeze to my 95 integra. I fill it up 50% antifreeze and 50% H2O and on the 2nd or 3rd day, it's already below the low mark. There are no leaks anywhere. I don't drive it all day. Just to work and back. It only takes me 5mins. Can you PLEASE tell me whats wrong before I take it for a check up.

Should be a leak somewhere!

Probably the leak its only whe you are driving, could be the water pump...

Check that!

the pump has an a small hole where the water escapes when the mechanical seal wears out, and not neccesary leaks all the time, just when its pressurized.

Suggested Repair

Inspect the water pump for a leak that appears only while driving and under pressure. A worn mechanical seal can let coolant escape from the pump weep hole intermittently, so the leak may not be visible when the car is parked.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1995 Honda Integra reports adding a 50/50 antifreeze mix every two or three days even though no external leaks are visible and trips are short. The expert says the loss is likely a leak that occurs only under pressure while driving and recommends checking the water pump weep hole for mechanical seal wear.
