It's not BS. Google it and it's apparently a common Honda issue.

You could not pay me to go to a Honda dealer anymore. They'll turn this $50 issue into a $500+ one in no time at all.

My mechanic is as honest as they come and a certified tech who owns his own shop.

Your OP suggested "large leak" to me, but if some O-rings fix it, I'll take yes for an answer.

My wife's 2007 Honda had same symptom. Amazon had the Honda Brand O-rings for about $5. It's a 5 minute fix. Start there. If it requires a new pumo, Check Amazon as well. It's not expensive, and doesn't take much time. Loosen the belt. Remove 2 hose clamps. Remove 2 bolts. Swap pumps and repeat steps for install.

It only seems to happen when it's really cold out. This morning it was 20 degrees and it came back. Did not happen yesterday when it was warmer. It's going back this week for the fix.
