Either way, just as long as you get your radiator hose fixed, you can drive the car. Just fill the AST and the filler neck ALL the way with water/antifreeze and you can get home. Once home, you can diagnose the problem whether it be a cracked reservoir or what.

you can physically see the tank's bottom in the nose vent/ air dam on the passenger side, i asked my wife to pour a little coolant in it to see where the leak is coming from and it dripped (more like poured right back out) straight from the bottom of the tank itself...now if it was overflowing, logic would tell me that the leak would be located somewhere higher than the very bottom of the tank.
let me know if i could be wrong

Like I said, fill it up with coolant, start it and make sure you have no other leaks. Then take it EASY going home(no racing all the rice boy civic's I'll be seeing when I get to Norfolk airport September 6).
How far are you from home? Hope it's not a cross country trip

10 minutes away,
don't even mention civics, i came across Ultraspeed (you might know them, big honda/ acura group round here) tonight at Frankie's (place for ribs) while having dinner with my wife and mom.
it was like civic mania...you should have seen the look on their faces when a friend of their's showed up in a supra revvin his car a lil to utilize his bov--->lifted up the hood and surprise, surprise a stock motor lol!!!!
they were like: oooooh, ahhhhhhhh
it was hilarious, made me wish i had my car on hand so they can hear my HKS bov at low boost. too bad we were using my mom's 2002 corrolla. i thought to myself, gee my mom's car has probably as much hp as some of their civics
