Went for a ride yesterday, 81f out and fan was running when I shut down.

anyway, small green puddle near centre stand.

I topped off the overflow coolant tank a while back, dumb place for it because you can't see the level. Anyway over filled it (to the brim) so I'm assuming the little puddle was just over flow from the over flow or expansion tank.

checked it later in the evening and there's still coolant in there.

ill keep an eye on it.
I do get the occasional whiff of coolant smell sometimes when riding but never any leaks that I can tell.

i HATE TUPPERWARE!!! Haha

It may be overflow from an overfilled tank given that the puddle is rearward of the engine. What kind of coolant staining do you see on the front right of the engine, forward of the oil sight glass? Mine is shown below )tupperware removed( before I took care of the clamp leaks.

Might have a small leak but if the overflow is over filled it's gonna err over flow.
Particularly after a ride when there no cooling from wind or the fans.
