On my way to church this morning, I noticed the temp gauge was going up. When I finally got to the parking lot, I heard hissing from under the hood. Next thing I know, coolant is spraying all over the place. Particularly, in this spot. My guess is the heater hose.

 

Lower radiator hose...

it's too high and on the wrong side for lower radiator hose, look like the one leading to the heater core or the head.

what year of accord btw?

 

Looks like the hose that runs from the block to the radiator on a 86-89 accord. That popped a whole in my 88 lx. Then the next day the otehr hose below it popped a whole. That time the car over heated a lot longer and I had a chocolate milkshake for coolant. Thought the head gasket was gone sucked cuz I had 181k on it. I flushed the cooling system with water etc. Replaced the bottom hose, refilled with h20 and coolant. Drove it for another 10K miles, then rust ripped apart the strut tower on the pass front side, shooting the strut through the hood ripping it off the hinge, then the pass tire ended up at a 45 degree angle. That was the best winter car ever, the only thing I ever really bought for it was front rotors, pads, and four nokia hak snows.

that's the way to do it, dealer cost way too much, if you could yank something out from a newer car that's perfect

 

Well I bought that same hose for my 88 for like 12 bucks from advanced auto parts brand new with a year warentee. Why bother digging through a junkyard. Especially since most pull and pick yards are like in the middle of nowhere you gotta drive 30-40 minutes to begin with.
