antifreeze leaking out of the valve cover???

[91sib16]

Hey my friends 1990 civic dx hatch is leaking antifreeze out of the valve cover. Why is that? Is it an easy fix? How much would it cost to fix? Thanks...

the gasket is broke that is between the head and the valve cover, easy fix yes.

They shouldn't be anti-freeze coming out the valve cover, the only way that would happen is if you have a bad head gasket and it is pouring out

+1. check the oil to see if it looks milky/watered down. thats another tell-tale sign of a headgasket gone bad.
