98 civic coolant leak...help!
Help, my 98 honda civic overheats from time. It has enough coolant in the reservoir and radiator itself. There is a noticable leak from the upper radiator hose to the engine. Could someone help me diagnose this problem?
Note:
- Radiator and thermostat has been replaced
- Radaitor fan works
- Takes in a lot of coolant
- No milky residue inside the oil cap
Here are a few photos of the leak.

It's leaking from the water outlet cover. Easy fix. Remove it, scrape old sealant off, apply red silicone high temp gasket maker, torque to spec, and let the gasket material dry for a day before driving.
