I have sprung a leak in y Honda 89 accord. The leak is in a line
feedinga small approximately 2 inches wide radiator in front of and at
bumper level to the radiator main one.
The Manual does not show what function it servs aND THE METAL PIPE IS
1/2 OR SO INCHES DIAMETER it is a pin hole leack shooting out about 15
inches from a pinhole in this metal pile feeding a cooling grill about
2 inches in diameter wity the pipe being fed someplace.

I bought a radiator aluminum powder stop leakage tube I will install on
the 31st of Jan. to day is 30 Jan 06

Any ideas what this line does?

oil cooler. replace, don't try repair. visit a junk yard if you can't
afford new.

It's the power steering oil cooler! If it's leaking you need to fix this
ASAP, and top up the power steering fluid with ONLY Genuine Honda Power
Steering Fluid!!

Don't add any of that sh.t to your car. Fix the thing right.
