leak in the a/c. and whats the best thing to ask to have done at a dealer
to fix that.

Get them to test for the leak. It could be anywhere in a car that old.

You might want to get a quote first and decide if it's worth spending money
on it.

Yes. See below.

It's funny. The Owner's Manual does not tell how to reset the System Check
light. You can get the manual here (no login required)
https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/logon.asp

Post here again if you want to know how to download the whole manual
instead of just viewing it on screen.

The best I can do (unless David Short shows up) is this:

i can't find anything on the light in her cars manual. and i cant find it
on the website that you sent. i tried doing the quick fix things on the
other site. i.e: holding down the odometer but that didn't work either.
can you help me out?

All I've got, sorry.

Try going in to the dealer and asking personally. If you're nice, they'll
be happy to tell you.

The maintenance light in the center dash panel is what you are talking about
I assume? If it is just flip up the door on the controls and push the left
side button and hold it down until the beep stops then push the reset button
and hold it down until the beep stops. That should reset it. I THINK!! Just
going from memory here as it has been awhile since I have done this on a car
that old!

It is the system check button you push first to get the display to the right
screen. Once it says oil change due? push the reset button and hold it til
the beep stops and the system resets..
