Default Coolant leak

I haven't had to opportunity to get under the car and look. But I can easily rule out that it isn't the radiator or any of the immediate hoses.
Any other things that could be leaking?

I just want to be prepared for tomorrow.

Are you sure it's leaking? Do you see a puddle of coolant on the ground? Or are you losing coolant (i.e.: bad headgasket, etc)?

Where is it leaking? Inside the car? Outside the car?

It could be many things, and don't rule out the radiator leaking right away. Honda radiators are notorious for having their plastic endtanks crack. Sometimes it's hard to see the leak, but it's there. You'll see a little green (or whatever coolant you have) by the endtanks.

You could have a bad radiator cap, the heater core could be leaking (if there is coolant leaking inside the car). There are numerous coolant hoses routed through the engine bay/firewall. Any number of them could be leaking/loose, not just the main radiator ones.
