Yes I think that is your EGR valve. It appears as though coolant is run through it. You must have an older Accord as I have never seen a set up like that before.

It looks like someone has already tried to fix the leak with some RTV. You should go to an autozone or advance auto or a store like those and get a proper seal for it. Just pop those two bolts off, put the seal in, and replace any coolant that was lost.

Yes i have a 89 honda accord lxi. I took those two bolts off yesterday and turned the car on and no water comes out that tube. I believe that is for my exhaust maybe? bc it is dry in the tube. The water more of less pours from under it.
