Unfortunately, looks like I'm the first to have a leak in that location, so no precedent. Need to look for the torque on those bolts, and check them out, just in case they're not tightened properly. No idea what's behind that 'channel'.įinally, even if the leak continues, it should be something very simple to fix, no? It has to be a seal on the water pump, since that 'channel' is behind it. I dont touching this, its brand new bike on warranty. Currently motorcycle leaks coolant (only) right now, when stationary. Once I was done, it started leaking after a few minutes at idle. Never allow the engine to run with an empty cooling system under any circumstance. Damage to the seals and bearings can then occur and even continue after the system has been refilled to the correct level. I don't think it was where the pipes go into the housing, because they're to the right of that 'channel'. They say they replaced the whole water pump, number 22 from table above. 1 Today, I swapped my water pump hoping to get rid of a BAD coolant leak coming from the engine on the vehicles left hand side in front of the engine. Extremely low coolant can damage the water pump by allowing it to spin without the the protection provided by the coolant. Compressor,alternator and that big aluminum mount can be lifted up as a unit. there's a hose in the back under the compressor. Common places for leaks especially if you still have the oem spring clamps. But the question remains WHERE did it leak from. fftopic: Check your heater hose, radiator hose (where they attach to the motor) and the water neck gasket. Maybe coolant dried out on a seal, and leaked a little until all the hardened coolant slipped out? Because remember when I found it, the engine was still running, and it wasn't leaking anymore the whitish coolant residue was dry already. but the better test will be after it sits for another period of time. First, it didn't happen when I used it again soon after.
