How many miles are on your car? Honda OEM radiators sometimes go out around 80K miles and up. The endtanks, since they are plastic, crack. Then you get leaks. Do you see a little liquid hanging around where the endtanks are attached to the actual radiator?

Look carefully to see exactly where the steam is coming from. Losing coolant can mean several things. Hopefully it's something simple, and not something bad.
