Vehicle -> 1987 Honda Accord - automatic - carb - 4 door.
Ok - got my car running, now on to this problem.
Shortly after starting, I see coolant spraying upwards from behind and below the rear of the air filter cover. At the very bottom of this post is a pointer to a thread at this site that is likely what I'm dealing with. Just in front of it is a pointer to the general area of the part in question that I suspect. The part is #10 in the photo - thermo valve B(B-60).
I suspect it's the thermovalve or one of it's 2 hoses as the pattern is pulsed. It will spray for awhile, then stop. A hose would simply spray all of the time.
I realize that I must get underneath the car while it's warming up to get a better view of where it's actually coming from(can't see where it originates from above).
If my suspicion is correct, is this part readily accessible from below? Any snags or gotchas would be apppreciated. Thanks for your time.
