coolant leakage.
If water leaks through the bleed hole, replace the
mechanical seal.
Refer to an official Honda Service Manual or see your
dealer to replace the mechanical seal.
If oil leaks through the bleed hole, replace the oil seal.
Refer to an official Honda Service Manual or see your

Make sure that there is no continuous coolant leakage
from the bleed hole while operating the engine.
• A small amount of coolant weeping from the bleed
hole is normal.

Check the radiator air passages for clogging or damage.
Straighten bent fins and remove insects, mud or other
