82 GL500 questions

[KDS111]

Hello all,
This weekend I'm picking up an 82 GL500 SilverWing.
It runs fine, 10,000 miles.
This is my first Silverwing so bear with me.
There is a little leak of antifreeze running down the left side of the motor.
It looks like its coming from the top rear of the motor. This is the thermostat or water pump assembly correct? How involved is this.

I have the Honda service manual. Not a lot of pictures and diagrams.
Does anyone have a link to get the Haynes manual?
Thanks as always for all the great advice.

Everything you need to know.

May be coming from the weep hole in which case you'll need to replace the mechanical seal.

THERE IS A CHROME COOLANT TUBE THAT RUNS AROUND AND UNDER THE LEFT CYLINDER TO THE REAR OF THE ENGINE , PROBABLY LEAKING FROM THAT REAR CONNECTION.

I would most certainly check that first. Easy stuff first, always. I'm usually not that lucky.

I'm also not that lucky.
I can sure use all your help.
