i have a 2001 expolr with a antifreeze leak. it coming from what looks to be a vent (?maybe) a small metal tube that changes over to clear tubing and then its routed up in the upper frame rail. the vent on the right side close to where pull crank is. anybody have any ideas i have not yet got to talk with the dealer .

how much is leaking? is it leaking at all times? is it from getting too hot?

 

its leaking constant drip. the bike has not run in sometime and i just cleaned it up and replaced the gas. no its not getting hot ran it for maybe 5mins

is it flowing through the rad well or is there a blockage somewhere thats pushing it out a vent line

 

there is good flow in the rad

 

Have to checked your counterbalance fluid for any water in it or if it's white? Any anti freeze comming out weep holes low on engine side? Ever overheated yet? If you get water in c-balance fluid, it will rust the coolant, impeller shaft, takes out anti freeze seals, over heats etc. Hopefully this isn't your problem. Big job or expensive if you don't fix yourself. Cause is vent tube on counterbalance needs to exit up by the handle bars or risk sucking in water if exits too low.
