Check your coolant tanks!
I noticed some greenish deposit around the coolant tank by the fuse box. Upon closer inspection there was a small crack on the coolant tank bottle! Luckily I had a like new replacement from a 2005 sitting on my shelf. Half an hour later and it was all done. Here is a picture of the crack. It was hidden by the NSX-R coolant tank cover and the mounting bracket.

Well spotted! Read quite a few posts about the coolant bottle causing problems and cracking over time. One of those things that worth replacing down the line.

Exactly the same thing happened to me last month. Luckily back in the garage i always pop the engine cover after a drive just to aid engine cooling and i heard a strange hissing noise...like a kettle. Same thing a small crack on the water bottle seam. Thanks to my friend for getting me a new one cheap. You know who you are.

My went two yrs ago, leaked around the top brass pipe that the rubber host fits onto. Fortunately the replacement was cheap by Honda standards!

Two Mills Chester quoted me 187 pounds a couple of weeks ago. I choose to decline their kind offer and a tuning shop here in Brunei got me an OEM tank from Japan for 100 pounds including postage and 20% import duty.
