Hi, Guys. I looked further at my 2008 Blade's coolant overflow. The drips weren't from there, but I think the gasket around the water pump is bleeding (blue coolant). On the crankcase just above and in front of the gear lever (Is that the water pump ?) traces of blue liquid after a ride. (I cleaned and dried it all before the ride). Has anyone else had this problem ? What's the solution to fix it ? Thanks. Ray.
I think that is the water pump - I have an engine in pieces in my garage and can have a look if you like
It may be your water pump seal, but if it's been okay they don't usually just start leaking spontaneously. First try the torque settings of the bolts and the drain bolt too. I don't know if you have thought of it but my advice is not to put radweld in, or an Egg...(joke) Mike.
