Hey, new here and of course I have a problem and need to ask for some help, I will make up for it promise, and sorry to start this way....
New to me 2004, about 83k miles, purchased in Florida and rode it home Sunday; hit lots of traffic as you do on I-95 and smelled coolant, unsure if it was the bike or cars around me, but in any case made it home with no drama. In checking the bike over I noticed the overflow was low, which is odd/not odd, but then noticed a small puddle of coolant on the floor.
Cleaned the area well and ran the bike, it is not coming from the weep hole and not coming down from the top of the engine V as far as I see, starting the bike I can see it is seeping rather quickly too from between the water pump cover and the clutch cover, right at the seam.
I am inclined and beyond hopeful it is just a failed o-ring seal between the water pump cover and the clutch cover. Wondering if anyone has seen this before and have any thoughts?
