Leak light green fluid and broken screw
 
This is the broken screw.
This is the place where the light-green fluid comes out.
This is about 7 seconds. I come out and back to turn off the car immediately


Dear Honda Forum!

This is my fault when trying to fix my car by watching youtube.
When I over-tighten the screw of the engine cover. And Its head broke from the body; the body stuck inside the screw's hole.
Besides, I also forget to put the pipe in its position, therefore, a light green fluid leaks out as the image which I attached. I just turn the car on, then I come outside and see the leak. I turn off the car immediately.
Should I call for a tow to the shop to repair or try to drive it to the shop? Do you know how much does it cost for the screw and the fluid refill?
I'm glad to receive your responses!

Sincerely,

The fluid should be radiator coolant or engine coolant (same thing).
The coolant is circulated through the throttle body to let it know how warm the engine is.
Just re-attach the hose and re-fill coolant .

As for the broken bolt, just drive it until you can find time to get it out and replace the bolt.
Auto parts store should have replacement.
Just bring one of the other bolts so they can size it and get the right thread
Do not ask me how to get the bolt out. Wish you luck
