Wow, you expect anyone to be able to help you with that question. How about a little more detail.....leaking water out of 2 screws.......okay.

sorry, the bike runs fine, but a few drops of engine ice come from the two center screws on the bottom of the engine...

Huh? Still not getting it. There are no screws. Lets talk nuts and bolts. Do you mean there is colant leaking from the nuts from the bottom of the engine cases?

[HKIC]

yea, its leaking from the middle 2 nuts on the bottom of the case.

You sure its not coming form the heads and running down and appearing to come for the bottom nuts. There shouldnt be coolant coming from those nuts. There are no coolant passages around that area.

Check the coolant tube that goes thru the case.

It will leak, go thru the drains & drip under the cases..

Oring seal might be broken.

Word. Unless your crank chamber is full of coolant, those two studs are not where the coolant is actually coming from. :geek:
