sounds like it may be your water pump. they have weep holes that fluid will leak from when the bearing goes bad

kinda sounds like it is a heater hose, or somewhere around the thermostat housing if it is coming from the back side. If you have been around accords then you should be able to find it. Not much is different. G/L
