I would guess its your impeller seals going. last season I had coolant leaking out the overflow. when I looked into it, I learned that when one of the seals seperating your coolant from your oil goes, it routes it out the overflow rather than letting it mix together. make sure whoever replaces those seals for you is carefull. very exact tolerances when installing the new ones. I have no leaks now.

+1. Sounds like the mechanical seal under the impeller. I would remove the water pump and clutch cover and have a Honda dealer put the new seal in as they can be a bit of a bitch.Seal should be around $30
