I was driving today and when I reached a stop light I started to see white smoke coming out of my hood. So I pulled up to the nearest gas station to inspect what's wrong. I could hear a "hissing" sound near the Fuel Injector and the Engine. I knew something was leaking, I safely got home and checked the car and it's leaking coolant liquid. Anyone might know where's the source of this leak is? Or maybe the possibilities that this happened?

Oh and by the way, what kind of coolant you are using? (I live in Chicago) Is it green color?

 

i don't know of any color other than green for coolant, if there are any other colors for normal street cars someone fill me in

you probably have a leaky hose, it could be old and a bulge/weak spot gave way, one of your clamps might've come loose, hole in a hose. can you see where it might be coming from exactly, maybe a picture?

 

Not exactly know where it is, but I know it's between the Fuel Injector and the engine. Can't really see where. I'm checking on it now.

Yup, new coolant is Blue from the dealer. Honda has them in stock at most locations. IIRC its called Type 2 coolant/antifreeze.

 

looks like the heater hose that runs along the back of the head

 

check the coolant hoses under the distributer. those seem to alway's blow or pop on 3rd gens.
