They're aluminum. Leak got worse last night. Popped hood and could see some coolant burning off the front of the engine. Sooo, I may be "lucky" that it is the water pump and coolant is running along the shield and finally dripping towards rear.

 

Water pump to block gaskets go bad around 120,000 miles or more . Sometimes it is the pump seal as well.

The rear "steam" tube is easy to get to tho. I sealed mine with honda bond :dumb:

 

either way its likely an easy/cheap fix.
