Default 1999 Honda Accord radiator issue, please help

hello all, I have a 1999 Honda Accord it seems to be leaking radiator fluid about a foot in from driver’s tire. I can not seem to find anything about this area on the vehicle. It is half
way down engine block.

hard to tell anything from your photo. Are you sure one of the radiator/coolant hoses isn't leaking?

In my experience, most of the time these radiators fail where the plastic and metal meet. They usually start leaking slowly, and progressively get worse. Sometimes you can see dried antifreeze where the plastic/metal meets. Check those areas carefully.

Do you have a 4cyl or 6cyl. Have you checked the hoses in the rear of the engine by squeezing them

Are you sure it's not leaking out the water pump weep hole? If you have the 2.3L 4 cylinder, that's where I'd start looking.
