Are you loosing coolant?
Is coolant getting mixed with oil or vice versa?
Run engine to normal opeating temperature
Remove dipstick and let a drop fall onto a hot engine part
Oil will smoke coolant will sizzle Do a compression test
2 adjacient cylinders with low readings indicate a leaking head gasket

Acura Legend is overheating?

The most common cause of overheating is a thermostat stuck in
the closed position. However, other causes are: faulty water pump,
clogged radiator, clogged hose(s), coolant leak or a broken drive
belt. I had a 1987 legend with around 160K that was overheating.
Antifreeze would boil out of the overflow. I changed my radiator
and it fixed the problem.
