Does anyone no what could b causing this leak

Looks like top hose. That's the coolant hose coming from the cylinder head to the radiator. I had it leaking on mine just on that place

I am glad you said that because someone said it could be the head gasket do u think it would just need a clip or a new hose

take the top pipe off clean the barb on the engine with a scotch pad then clean the gunk out the inside of the pipe
smear liberally with bum lube refit and use a jubilee clip see if that helps

Ok I will try that in the morning thanks for the help

As @vocky always says, the head gasket on the z22se almost never fails.

the only few head gasket failures have all been caused by running without any water or coolant in the engine, so head gasket failure is pretty much unlikely

thanks for the help it was just a leak from the coolant hose coming from the cylinder head to the radiator so i did what evo said and it ain't leaked for over a week now so thank you
