While starting to install the Hepko & Becker bars on my NT I noticed a drop of coolant on the bottom of the water pump. I have not had any pooling under the bike nor have I noticed any other leaking of coolant. Just this one drop on the bottom of the water pump.
Is this a cause for concern? Sure don't want a pump failure in the heat down here!
Obviously came from the weep hole on the pump. Had to come through the seal on the pump shaft. Wonder if my seal is failing already?????
Anyone else had a problem with coolant leak at this location?
EDIT: Just a thought. The bike is parked on the sidestand almost all the time. Since the bike leans toward the left, could it be that the coolant is pushing against the seal when parked and may leak a drop or two? There is no indication that it is leaking while I am riding and streaking to the back of the bike.
