I Need some help with overheating please
1998 Accord EX
Hi,
my car has overheated once while driving and the coolant was really low so I filled it up, now I'm losing a good amount of coolant everytime I drive it. I think I may have found a leak somewhere though.
I don't think it's the headgasket because I checked the oil and it looks just fine, no grey snot at all.
It only overheats when there is no more coolant in the reservoir tank.
I think it may be the radiator is broken, how do I check that?

You need to just do a pressure test of the cooling system and see where the leak is. Any car parts place with lender tools (e.g., AutoZone, Advance) will loan you the tester.
If possible, don't drive it until you find out what's going on. Overheating can cause all sorts of expensive problems.
