I don't think that wasn't coolant l0l. Now you can worry less and still drive it if it wasn't coolant. Not sure what you broke so I can't help you there. What color is the liquid that was leaking?

Coolant is green... That was windshield washer fluid that you were leaking. Don't worry about it unless you need the washer fluid.

I think its the windshield's washer fluid from the reservoir. It has nothing to do with the cooling system so dont worry. I actually removed my whole washer system..

I was unaware of Honda using blue coolant nowadays. I might have to take a look at the pros and cons of this. Thanks for the info OP.
