Coolant Leak
New to me 98 Honda Accord LX 4-cylinder is leaking antifreeze when it gets up to temperature. It is dripping down off of the transmission, but I can't see exactly where it is coming from, even from underneath the vehicle.
Any ideas what I am dealing with ???
Should I pull the Intake Manifold to see what I am dealing with ???

I don't know if its' exactly the same, but my 99 has two coolant hoses that run from the radiator to cool the transmission. I would presume if it's coming off the transmission I'd look there first. Otherwise look up further to check where the thermostat is and replace the hoses and thermostat while there.
I'd also consider just doing an overhaul and replace all the coolant hoses because it seems once one starts to leak they all start to leak. Upper , lower, transmission coolant lines, thermostat.
Pretty cheap to do and not really that hard.

There is a coolant hose connection directly under the distributor. Sometimes, the seal inside the distributor leaks and the oil falls directly on the hose, rotting it, and causing it to leak or break. I would check that first.
