Check your water pump gasket! or seal! on the clutch cover you can see some inserts, the one from the right if you take it off you will see the cover for the water pump..!!

Check the oring on water neck. It's the tube that connects to clutch cover and coolant hose between the carbs.

X2 that o-ring leaked on me once. Make sure it's not cracked and make sure you put a little bit of grease on there to help the install easier. The water pump is on that side too so you might want to check the gasket on the water pump/water pump seal.
