I'd look long and hard for a leak before blaming the engine, especially with the symptoms you describe. All it would take is a tiny leak in the radiator or a seeping hose. Also, try replacing the pressure cap. I found that mine wouldn't hold pressure at 30K.

If the head gasket is leaking into a cylinder then this is probably occurring when the engine is off but while there is still pressure in the cooling system. A mechanic with a bore scope should be able to see the deposits left by the evaporated antifreeze on top of a piston. I’ve never heard of a 4G63 that used antifreeze this way but there is always a first time for everything.

I just took it out for a test run with the boost turned up and found that the tubo was covered in coolant. I cant see a leak in any of the hoses.

try looking around your exhaust manifold could be leaking from there (hair line crack or so), this has happen to me before, but in my accord...
