having an issue with coolant leaking no coolant in oil or any signs of head gasket issues. driver side of engine has coolant here and there but passenger side is completley dry....... the first time i put coolant in it it was orange the second time it was green ive checked the radiator it seems like the green coolant is not making it to the radiator cuz its still orange ......idk im filling it just about everytime i stop its confusing the hell out of me

Hey,

I have a 93 1.6 and I experienced the exact same problem driver side and all. Mine resided in a hose clamp that had come loose and slipped a little. I'm pretty certain the the everything looks similar between the '92 and '93. Check the large 1 - 1.5" hose that comes from the engine and goes under the far right side of that horrendous stock air intake. I took that intake off, and could clearly see that where that hose leads into the rad, the clamp was a bit loose and the hose had pulled back. I just loosened the clamp, repositioned the hose put the clamp back on and presto coolant magically stay's in car.

Hint: Mine had some coolant still in the hose so have an oil pan ready to catch the run off.

hope this helps ya!
