Default 03 Banshee Coolant leak

I have an 03 banshee and get some coolant leaking from some where. It drips down the top of the right side pipe. I have not been able to locate where it is coming from. Anyone have any ideas?

If it's coming from the very top of the pipe up high (right under the fuel tank) it is probably coming from the upper radiator hose or from the radiator and running down the hose.

*open your eyes while looking*...haha j/k if it's the overflow then he prolly has a leak, changeing the coolant and impeller won't fix the leak...for those of you that don't know why you need pressure this is how it works...

water boils at 212 farn., adding antifreeze of some sort, or just using it raises the boiling point, you need pressure to raise it even higher, see the higher the pressure...the higher the boiling point, as such this is why water at the bottomof the ocean doesn't boil when lava touches it, it's boiling point is very high...anyways, if he has a leak...he needs to seal it so he regains the pressure.\

try cleaning the whole bike, start it, and look very carefully around the area you think it's in, the highest point you see coolant it's leaking from there...find the area, clean bike repeat until you see where exactly it's coming from...it might be as simple as a seal or so...hope this cleared things up a bit...good luck

Default 03 Banshee Coolant leak

I have been looking for this crazy leak so far no luck. I have checked the cap, radiator hose and such and haven't had any luck so far. I will keep searching. I wasn't sure if this was something others have run into or not. This is my 5th Banshee in my lifetime and the first one to leak out anti freeze.

I appreciate the help so far.
