Recommend replacing the head gasket and check for warpage CD
The head gasket is located between the engine’s cylinder head and block. When a spark ignites gasoline in the engine, the explosion creates pressure in the engine. The head gasket provides a seal that keeps that pressure contained within the engine’s cylinder. The head gasket also provides a seal for internal engine water and oil passages.
My input: Found this, YT and other sites with similar situations at similar mileage.
Only car owner and not used for speeding/racing (It's a hybrid not a hot rod). Maintenance done on time with OEM or better components. Always using Mobile1 or Amsoil filter with Mobile1 Synthetic Between 3-5k miles on average. Vehicle is very well maintained, no body damage.
Solution: Honda recall soon? Anyone had a courtesy repair since it's odd that it's happening with low mileage? Similar cases easily found with searches.
