Default Coolant hose leak - Tackle from above or below

My 1991 EX has been sitting for a few months. Upon starting it, I discovered a coolant leak that is somewhere under the fuel injector on the firewall side. There are large drips of coolant that I can see but I cannot tell what is leaking. I presume one of the hoses.

My question is how is it best handled? Do I take off the fuel injector or put the car on a rack and go from below? I don't see a lot of room to get my hands in there from above.

Thoughts?

Go to one of the many online Honda dealers and look up the coolant hose diagrams and decide....I'm guessing from below.

Your description of the "fuel injector" has me confused so I can't be sure

Finally got the hose replaced. The broken hose was below and to the side of the fuel injector. It is #7 on the diagram. I broke #5 trying to get to it. At least that is two less hoses I have to worry about. cb7 coolant diagram please - Honda-Tech

Thanks poorman for the diagram suggestion. My manuals did not have anything on the coolant hoses.

When clicking on the link for the diagram, it goes to another thread.

And there is no working link to the diagram in the thread either.

Please advise.

Thanks

Go to a site like hondapartsnow.com and enter your vehicle information. I believe they are talking about the diagram when you click engine then water hose.

Okay. Thank you very much.

Just didn't know why the links to diagrams in that post were not going anywhere.

Peace
