01bansheefox Posted January 23, 2013 Report Posted January 23, 2013 Tossed the coolant bottle & now the very top hose next to radiator cap leaks when riding, what gives?? Doesn't seem to run hot?? and the radiator hose is warm. Quote
sleeper06 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Posted January 23, 2013 Rad cap is bad or head gasket(blown- o ring) Quote
monster Posted January 23, 2013 Report Posted January 23, 2013 Its normal to leak some coolant at first the coolant expands when it gets hot and pushes out the cap then when it cools off it sucks air in the rad the next time it pushes air out or compresses the air. The point is it will stop leaking unless you overheat it or top off the rad again. Quote
01bansheefox Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Posted January 23, 2013 The radiator was completely full so i was thinking it was just splashing out from movement but it did it for about 30min of riding. I dont see how the oring could be bad already its a brand new top end from a shop with maybe a few hours on it but guess shit happens... Quote
jbooker82 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Posted January 23, 2013 It just pushed a little out. It will suck air back in when it cools down. If you would have kept the over flow it would have sucked coolant back in. I run the overflow because it keeps the radiator topped off. Quote
