Default Coolant problems on h22

I have an H22a and on the back of the block there looks to be a drain or something, it next to the timing belt cover about half way up the block. it started shooting out radiator fluid on me does anyone know how to fix this, is the water pump bad, or is it something stupid?????

I'm not sure but does the H series have a freeze plug?... If so, it's about that season.

Edit:I see you live in Flordia, Nevermind

I can send one tomorrow.

The pipe goes across the back of the block and goes into the block on the backside of the waterpump. It connects to the thermostat housing on the other end.

Here is link to majestic honda that shows the pipe but no the block

The bleeder valve is on the thermostat housing.. the waterpipe could be leaking from the seal on the connection to the block. I am having a similar issue right now -- replaced all hoses which where leaking some. I still have a leak -- think it could be one or two things either oil cooler seal or the water pipe seals -- does it spray onto the backside of your lower A arm? these can be a PIA to figure out....

So you say it's NOT dripping between the timing cover and the block?
