Put fluid with green dye to test. Turning yellow which means a new car
In a search I found this: Check for steam escaping from the sides of the engine or from the tailpipe. White steam indicates that there is a head gasket leak, a complete head gasket failure, or a crack in the engine block and engine coolant is leaking into the engine and burning. This can be dangerous to the Accord’s engine as water does not ignite. The coolant and water moisture that is meant to cool the engine can cause the engine to hydrolock, which in turn causes catastrophic engine failure.
