Default Engine Block Leaking Coolant

Hey you guys. Coming to you to see if you can give me a hand. Recently my 2002 Honda Accord SE started to over heat. She has 209,xxx on her and im not ready for her to die yet. I have posted two images below to show where i think the leak is coming from. Notice how I say "I think". If anyone one can help me it would be a great help! Also if you could help identify what that plug is.

Please and Thanks,
MrRedLogan

the plug (hole) you've indicated with the arrow is part of the oil pump so coolant would not be coming from there. just above that however is the weep hole for the water pump. when it begins leaking it's time to replace the pump.

the good news, the pumps are cheap and will buy you another 100k miles+

the not so good news, it's a weekends worth of work to get the timing belt off and out of the way and you should really replace the belt and all seals as well.

the best thing to do is a timing belt kit:

timing belt
balancer belt
cam seal
crank seal
left (front) balancer seal
right (rear) balancer seal
water pump
thermostat
accessory belts
valve cover gasket set

and check the coolant hoses. replace if they don't look new, are swollen, leaking or kind of "cruch" when you give a light squeeze.
