Default 2000 Accord Coolant Leak

I'm the original owner of a 2000 Accord LX 4dr and I recently discovered a coolant/anti freeze leak. The engine is running hot. I can see coolant pooling on the right side of the engine , under the distributor. The leak seems to start when the engine warms up and I can hear the cooling system lose pressure when I shut of the engine. The top and bottom hoses are not leaking. Any ideas what's leaking? I try to answer tiny questions to the best of my ability. Thanks in Advance.

The leak may be from the heater hose, which attaches under the distributor area. Relatively common if the distributor leaks oil on it which deteriorates the hose.
