After the last time that I went riding, I noticed that there is a small puddle of coolant below the bike in the garage. I've found where its coming from but don't know what the next step is. Everyone seems to have a leak in the water pump area, this is not where mine is. Mine seems to be coming from where the top radiator hose connects to the engine, right next to theexhaust. I wiped it all up last night and came back this morning to find a few drops on the floor, so it wasn't a one time thing or from after riding.
It's kinda hard to describe, so I attached a beautifully drawn picture. The picture is as if you are viewing the bike from the front (and maybe a little to the right of it from the front). On the top right there is the hose that is coming from the radiator. It come around top and attaches to a metal connector, and this metal connector attaches to the engine. This connection happens directly to the right of the exhaust connection. The leak does not seem to be coming from where the hose connects to the metal connector, but rather it looks like its coming from where the metal connector connects to the engine.
I also attached a pic of the puddle and an up close of the area of the bike.
Coolant level is still good and the overflow reservoir in the back is like 1/3 full.
Any advice?
