1997 Honda Prelude; 145,000 - recently, my car has started dumping all radiator contents every two days or so. What would cause this?

Hi there,

You could have a blown head gasket, a leaking hose, a stuck thermostat, a blocked radiator, a faulty cooling fan. any cooling system component that fails will cause some form of over heating, have the simple things looked at first ,but if it has been overheating for some time a head problem could be your concern.
