Leakage

Everytime I pop my hood, there on the fans is some Antifreeze/Collant that has somehow leaked out. I am not sure where this has come from and the car is not overheating. Can anyone help me with this prob?

Sounds like you have a crack in the radiator. This is a very common problem in Hondas. The stock Plastic tanks on the radiator over time get stressed and crack. look for a small hairline crack either under the filler neck, or above the radiator fan mounts. It maybe hard to see, but it is there. These are the 2 most common areas of failure. Also the plastic tanks overtime can become detached from the core. This will cause leakage around the edge of the tank. Keep your eye on it, and start planning for a new unit. They can be had new for about 100-500 bucks depending on what type you want. A decent unit from Modine can be had for about 145 bucks.
