water leak signs of.

#1 Post by Tonyunn » Tue May 06, 2014 9:13 am

Since I re-did my coolant I have seen signs of dried white water residue but I can't see where it is coming from.
I have checked the radiator filler cap and the expansion tank. There does not seem to be a leak as such but after a trip I see something has settled on the top of the clutch housing.

anyone seen this or have a tip of what to check next.

cheers

The drain plug on the side of the crankcase? (The one hiding behind the coolant bottle.)

The 'T'-shaped plastic pipe that has one leg pointing between the cylinders? (I had mine develop a split and leak coolant all over the clutch housing.)
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.
