1 Coolant Leaking problem

Failure Date: 12/20/2012

In December 2012 while traveling approx 70mph on a highway, my Pilot began bucking, and fitting back & forth. I was able to drive it to the dealership where they had to disassemble the engine, and determined the #5 plug had come off, and was rattling around damaging the inside of the engine. The dealership replaced the engine block, cylinders, etc at a cost of $9000. It was about 2-3k over the warranty, and past warranty by 2 months. Honda paid 90% of the bill, and I paid 10%. Today. . . Very similar experience, except this time it's leaking a coffee looking liquid. Assuming oil mixed with coolant. . . Still waiting to hear from dealership as to cause of leaking fluid, and appearance of mixed fluid.
