Default 2001 Polaris sportsman 500 ho coolant leak

Hello, I have an issue with coolant leaking somewhere but not sure where. No bubbles underneath rad cap, water pump weep hole isn’t leaking, impeller seems fine, not sure if it’s the head gasket or what I dread a cracked head. No visible leaks anywhere around the radiator or hoses. But I did learn even if you see no bubbles coming up from the radiator neck there is a possibility it could be a head gasket. No visible leaks around head gasket. Cam gasket on top is leaking a little oil. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forums.

I'd check the Polaris section. They should get you pointed in the right direction.

I have the same issue but I blew the belt in my 2000 Polaris sportsman 500 and there is a hole him my clutch cover, but anyhow there was coolant dripping out of the hole that my belt made and it was a bottom end gasket.
