2000 Civic. Coolant loss from upper radiator hose housing?
Noticed some coolant loss and it appears to be from the gasket that connects the upper radiator hose housing to the engine head. I've taken a stock photo and highlighted the gasket in red in the attached photo. To my knowledge this housing has never been removed.
Anyone else had this gasket fail?
Where did you buy the gasket? What is the gasket called?
Thanks for your help

I researched and made a gasket from a sheet of the blue Felpro rubber cellulose gasket material and also used Permatex #2 non-hardening sealer on both sides of the gasket. Turns out there was no gasket between the block and housing, had only a sealant from the factory. No leaks so far, looks like the gasket is holding up.
