I own a 2001 400 4x4 2 stroke and I have coolant coming from the tube that comes off whats looks to me like the top side of the crank case. Not sure if expalined right. I know that is were the counter balance is and this tube is on the top side of the case. I add coolant to max level and as soon as engine warms up the coolant starts coming out of this tube which points upwards and the coolant needs refilled. Not sure if it is head gasket, cracked cylinder sleeve or maybe a counter balance problem.

Thanks all,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

I know I am new to this forum and I may not describe my problem very well but I do need some help or just the right place to start looking. I do see a lot of question being asked and answered so can somebody please give me a little help here were to begin.

Thanks all.........
