My wife drove the car to work last night and said the antifreeze was shooting out from this area .. for the life of me i can't think of what it could be other than maybe the thermostat or maybe a water pump ... Just put a new radiator on the car Sunday afternoon... any and all feedback is appreciated!!

 

Probably the heater hose. Usually, oil leaking due to distributor's o-ring hastened the heater hose to split/crack, leak, etc. Kind of common.

 

It was Antifreeze, not oil that was coming from this area. Heater Hose shouldn't spit coolant should it?

 

I understand it was coolant leaking. The heater hose leaking is usually due to the engine oil dripping onto it, which hasten the deterioration of the hose and eventually causing the hose to leak.

The heater hose does carry coolant.

 

Here's a similar thread, different generation Accord; but, same thing.

Part Detail

 

I moved your post and djkurious' reply, as the other thread is for a 6th gen Accord with a similar situation.

The Honda part number for your 5th gen Accord may be different than for a 6th gen.
