Coolant Leak Head Gasket or Water Pump

I got a pretty bad coolant leak near the water pump. For the longest time I thought it was the head gasket leaking. I used some head gasket sealant and this worked for quit a while. However, now I am going to fix it.
Do water pumps leak on these Hondas? How bad would a head gasket leak?

Awwwpoop. What kind of sealant?

Better figure out what was really leaking first.
Then hope your sealant didn't turn a good repair into an impossible task.

Of course.

I've not yet seen one of these leaking externally that still ran.
